Edited by scholars and teachers whose interests range from the history of poetics to postmodernism, from classical rhetoric to ériture féminine, and from the social construction of gender to the machinery of academic superstardom, <I>The Norton Anthology of Theory and Criticism</I> promises to become the standard anthology in its field. <P>An Unrivaled Collection: <I>The Norton Anthology of Theory and Criticism</I> offers nearly twice the number of selections in other leading anthologies and more twentieth-century selections than any other text (including anthologies devoted solely to the twentieth century). This historical breadth of coverage and depth of selection&#151;especially within the twentieth century&#151;make <I>The Norton Anthology of Theory and Criticism</I> the perfect choice for nearly any theory and criticism course. <P>Continuity and Connections: The works in <I>The Norton Anthology of Theory and Criticism</I> have been chosen not only because they are individually important but also because they speak to each other, providing students with a rich portrait of the ongoing "critical conversation." Where appropriate, the editors link classical, medieval, and early modern critics to contemporary theorists and movements as well as to other classical, medieval, and early modern critics. Throughout the twentieth-century selections, the editors trace the complex web of interrelated ideas and explicit influences. <P>Helpful Apparatus: <P>&#149; General Introduction: A 30-page introduction surveys the history of criticism and theory and provides an overview of the many schools and movements that make up the contemporary theoretical landscape. <P>&#149; Headnotes: Each of the 169 figures represented in <I>The Norton Anthology of Theory and Criticism</I> is treated in an informative headnote that not only introduces the writer's life and thought but also connects the writer to other critics, theorists, and movements. <P>&#149; Bibliographies: Each author headnote is followed by a selected bibliography. A detailed, annotated general bibliography at the end of the volume is divided into historical periods and major schools and movements. This material makes The Norton Anthology of Theory and Criticism a valuable reference for scholars as well as a useful teaching anthology. <P>&#149; Annotations: In the Norton tradition, <I>The Norton Anthology of Theory and Criticism</I>'s annotations are extensive, helpful, and as unobtrusive to students' own interpretive work as possible. 46220 13 6 2001 The Norton Anthology of Theory and Criticism total:184|5:103|4:48|3:23|2:9|1:1| 184 795 304 31 5 2 false false Wed Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2004 Mon Aug 06 07:00:28 -0700 2007 Mon Aug 06 07:03:15 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 1 false false Mon Mar 17 19:17:57 -0700 2008 Mon May 04 00:48:57 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Fri Feb 23 13:01:37 -0800 2007 Fri Feb 23 13:03:54 -0800 2007 3 0 false false Mon Nov 02 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Sep 28 14:04:58 -0700 2009 Mon Nov 02 19:31:11 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Nov 19 19:34:15 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 19 19:41:27 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 true false Thu May 28 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 10 05:29:23 -0700 2008 Thu May 28 10:44:27 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Jul 06 20:11:38 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 06 20:17:01 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Dec 01 23:00:27 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 01 23:14:00 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Thu Aug 14 17:48:50 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 14 17:53:35 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Mar 18 09:48:50 -0700 2009 Wed Feb 18 13:22:39 -0800 2009 Wed Mar 18 09:48:50 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Nov 02 05:53:31 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 02 05:53:31 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Wed Jan 07 04:20:40 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 07 04:23:08 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jul 15 09:51:57 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 15 09:52:23 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Oct 09 20:27:20 -0700 2007 Tue Oct 09 20:34:52 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri Dec 14 17:47:33 -0800 2007 Thu Jan 10 17:10:43 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Jun 02 12:56:25 -0700 2008 Sat Jun 07 16:30:08 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Jan 04 17:27:29 -0800 2008 Sun Sep 07 17:44:10 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Tue Sep 30 20:22:09 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 30 20:23:32 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Tue Jun 24 07:42:11 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 24 07:43:46 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Mon Oct 29 12:35:41 -0700 2007 Mon Oct 29 12:36:20 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=47173
