DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn its emphasis on the text as a complex abstraction, much of the most influential recent work in criticism and theory has distanced itself from the traditional social and cultural questions of literary scholarship. In "Literature and Society", seven critics consider anew the situation of writing in history and human society. Their contributions deal with the subject from many viewpoints, all of which are informed but not overwhelmed by current trends in modern critical theory. -- From publisher's description
