‘An excellent introduction to the field.’
Robert Eaglestone,
Royal Holloway, University of London
‘Comprehensive and wide-ranging, this volume combines accessibility with scholarly
soundness to offer an up-dated and engaging coverage of all the essential schools
in modern critical theory.’
Professor Galin Tihanov,
Lancaster University
The Routledge Companion to Critical Theory
is an indispensable aid for anyone
approaching this exciting field of study for the first time.
By exploring ideas from a diverse range of disciplines, ‘theory’ encourages us
to develop a deeper understanding of how we approach the written word. This
book defines what is generically referred to as ‘critical theory’, and guides readers
through some of the most complex and fundamental concepts in the field, ranging
from historicism to postmodernism, and from psychoanalytic criticism to race
and postcoloniality.
Fully cross-referenced throughout, the book encompasses manageable intro-
ductions to important ideas followed by a dictionary of the names and terms that
students are likely to encounter. Further reading is offered to guide students to
crucial primary essays and introductory chapters on each concept.
