Literary theory : a very short introduction / Jonathan Culler.

Summary:

Shedding light on everything from literature and social identity, to poetry, poetics, and rhetoric, this is a welcome guide for all students and readers of literature. Answering questions such as "What is literary theory?" and "Why have theorists been arguing about the distinction between humans and animals?", the author explains that theory by sketching key "moves" that theory has encouraged, and by speaking directly about the implications of theory for thinking about literature, human identity, and the power of language.
