Download or read book Postmodern Literary Theory written by Niall Lucy and published by Blackwell Publishing. This book was released on 2000-02-08 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literature today is a very different concept from that of only a generation ago, and this difference is attributed usually to 'postmodernism'. Most radical of all is the possibility that the very notion of literature is rendered untenable by postmodernism. How did this possibility arise? Who are the key figures responsible for its emergence; which are the key texts of its expression? This Anthology provides ways of responding to such questions.
