Critical confrontations : literary theories in dialogue
Critical Confrontations extends beyond the encyclopedia-like treatment found in most introductory volumes to broaden the interpretive landscape of critical theory and make it more useful. Contending that the dominant paradigms of contemporary critical theory eclipse rather than enable the analysis of gender, race, and difference that lies at the heart of today's cultural reflection, Meili Steele joins heretofore separate realms - tradition-based views of language and antihumanistic theories - to provide a new, more cohesive story of critical theory
