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? Fry engages with the major themes and strands in twentieth-century literary theory, among them the hermeneutic circle, New Criticism, structuralism, linguistics and literature, Freud and fiction, Jacques Lacan's theories, the postmodern psyche, the political unconscious, New Historicism, the classical feminist tradition, African American criticism, queer theory, and gender performativity. 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. 410 0$aOpen Yale courses series. 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc 606 $aSemiotics 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc. 615 0$aSemiotics. 676 $a801/.95 686 $aLIT000000$aLIT006000$2bisacsh 700 $aFry$b Paul H$0456846 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813225403321 996 $aTheory of literature$93950262 997 $aUNINA
