Theory, as the many theoretical ism's (among them postcolonialism, postmodernism, and New Historicism) are now known, once seemed so exciting but has become ossified and insular. This iconoclastic collection is an excellent companion to current anthologies of literary theory, which have embraced an uncritical stance toward Theory and its practitioners. Written by nearly fifty prominent scholars, the essays in <I>Theory's Empire</I> question the ideas, catchphrases, and excesses that have let Theory congeal into a predictable orthodoxy. More than just a critique, however, this collection provides readers with effective tools to redeem the study of literature, restore reason to our intellectual life, and redefine the role and place of Theory in the academy. </P> 1067860 30 3 2005 Theory's Empire: An Anthology Of Dissent total:8|5:3|4:3|2:1|1:1| 8 30 26 1 1081123 0231134177 9780231134170 8 1 3.75 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180825819m/1081123.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1081123.Theory_s_Empire_An_Anthology_Of_Dissent 2 0 false Thu Aug 20 08:01:18 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 20 08:01:18 -0700 2009
