Abstract

"Literature, Culture and Society makes a determined attempt to re-establish the connections between literary studies, cultural studies and sociology. Andrew Milner provides a critical overview of the various theoretical approaches to textual analysis, from hermeneutics to post-modernism, and presents a substantive account of the processes by which literary, film and television texts are produced and consumed." "This new second edition has been fully revised and updated. There are entirely new sections on major theorists and critical approaches including Bourdieu, Zizek and psychoanalysis, Moretti and world systems theory."--BOOK JACKET.
