Difference is one of the most influential critical concepts of the second half of the 20th century. In this text, Mark Currie offers a comprehensive account of the history of the term and its place in some of the most influential schools of theory since the 1960s. The text encompasses topics such as: post-structuralism; deconstruction; new historicism; psychoanalysis; French feminism; and postcolonialism. Employing literary case studies throughout, the book aims to provide an accessible introduction to a term at the heart of modern critical idiom.
