Opis

Modern literary study was founded on an opposition between the canon and its other, popular culture. The theory wars of the 1970s and the 1980s and, in particular, the advent of structuralist and post-structuralist theory, transformed this relationship. With the death of literature, the distinction between high and popular culture was no longer tenable, and the field of inquiry shifted from literary into cultural studies.

Recenzje

`High degree of sophistication, but explained with clarity and (rare quality) wit! a valuable source of reference beyond the field of cultural studies, too.' - Dr S J Simkin LSU College
