Literature against theory, Plato to Derrida : a defence of poetry

Author:Mark Edmundson

Summary:This timely book argues that the institutionalisation of literary theory has led to an intellectual sterility which ignores the actual power and scope of literature. The book demands to be read by all teachers of literature and theory, and by anyone concerned with the future of literary studies.

Contents:
Prologue: an ancient quarrel; 1. Rhetorics of blindness; 2. Polemics against presence; 3. Real history; 4. Foucault Inc.; 5. Under the influence.
