Fry offers in this welcome book a guided tour of the main trends in twentieth-century literary theory. At the core of the book's discussion is a series of underlying questions: What is literature, how is it produced, how can it be understood, and what is its purpose? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFry engages with the major themes and strands in twentieth-century literary theory, among them hermeneutics, modes of formalism, semiotics and Structuralism, deconstruction, psychoanalytic approaches, Marxist and historicist approaches, theories of social identity, Neo-pragmatism and theory. By incorporating philosophical and social perspectives to connect these many trends, the author offers readers a coherent overall context for a deeper and richer reading of literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47597705953431,"sku":"9780300180831","price":2345.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780300180831.webp?v=1774998264","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/theory-of-literature-9780300180831","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
