Twentieth-Century Literary Theory: An Introductory Anthology (SUNY series, Intersections: Philosophy and Critical Theory)
A SUNY Press anthology that treats literary theory as a set of questions rather than a parade of -isms. Vassilis Lambropoulos and David Neal Miller organize the essays around topics such as text, interpretation, ideology, and the uses of theory, rather than around critical movements, which keeps the volume from feeling like a museum. The paperback is academic in the practical sense: wide margins, small type, no illustrations, and a cover that will not attract attention on the subway. It assumes the reader already knows why theory matters. Ideal reader: the reader who wants to understand why theory happened without being asked to genuflect before every theorist.
