Post-Structuralism and the Question of History

Omtale

This collection of essays is unique in focusing on this central debate in literary studies today: the relation between post-structuralist and historical (especially Marxist) literary theory and criticism. The volume includes a deconstructive reading of Marx, essays which relate history to the philosophical and institutional context, and a number of studies of particular texts, literary and nonliterary, which pose the question of history and literary theory with particular force.
