Opis

This challenging book works towards a redefinition of literature and literary study. The texts the author examines are viewed not as works of art embodying enduring themes, but as attempts to redefine the social order.

Recenzje

One of the important works of the year....Contains some of the best arguments I know on the conventionality of canon formation.
