Michael Payne and his contributors provide an authoritative and accessible guide to modern ideas in the broad interdisciplinary fields of cultural and critical theory that have developed from interactions among modern linguistic, literary, anthropological, philosophical, political and historical traditions of thought. Structuralist, poststructionalist, phenomenological, feminist, hermeneutic, psychoanalytic, Marxist, and formalist modes of theory are given prominence in a volume that sets out to reflect the remarkable dissolution during the past twenty years of many of the traditional boundaries seperating disciples of study. Work in these fields that appeared before the twentieth century is included when it forms an important context for understanding later thinking.
