A complementary text to the Palgrave volume \u003cem\u003ePostmodern Narrative Theory\u003c\/em\u003e by Mark Currie, this new title addresses a host of theoretical concerns, as well as each field's principal figures and interpretive modes.

Guiding the reader through the poetics and politics of interpretative paradigms and schools of thought, \u003cem\u003eTransitions\u003c\/em\u003e helps direct the student's own acts of critical analysis. As well as transforming the critical developments of the past by interpreting them from the perspective of the present day, each study enacts transitional readings of a number of well-known literary texts.","brand":"Palgrave","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45083789754519,"sku":"9780333765326","price":4832.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780333765326.webp?v=1767264101","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/formalist-criticism-and-reader-response-theory-9780333765326","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
