出版社:Taylor and Francis 2006-3-1
简介:Review 'Twenty years ago, if you wanted to know where literary theory was at, I'd say semiotics, and Culler's Pursuit of Signs was the best way to see the links. Today? Same answer. Overview, criticism, problems and solutions: Culler offers them all in each chapter, on key topics and questions of the humanities. The book has the same urgency and acuity that it had then. Except that, with the interdisciplinary turn taking hold, literary theory itself, through this book, becomes a much more widespread tool for cultural analysis.'
