An outstanding book about literary theory:
This is an outstanding book about literary theory and the academy. A professor of mine recommended it to me as an undergraduate, along with Terry Eagleton's Literary Theory: An Introduction, and I found this one to be the more interesting, the more original, of the two. It is at once a history and a critique and has much to offer students and scholars alike. Unfortunately, Graff seems to have fallen prey in his later work to some of the sophistries that he criticized in this early work.
