Understanding modern literary theory is a challenge even for the erudite individual. The Smart Student's Guide to Modern Literary Theory will clear away most of the jargon and convoluted prose found in essays and texts on theory. If you need detailed help on theories like deconstruction, Marxism, feminism, Russian Formalism, structuralism, archetypal criticism, postmodernism, New Criticism, phenomenology, and Reader-Response criticism, this book will prove invaluable to literature majors (especially those taking a course in Literary Theory), and students of history and philosophy. More than thirty theorists are covered, including but not limited to) T. Adorno, L. Althusser, M. Bakhtin, R. Barthes, J. Baudrillard, M. Beardsley, W. Benjamin, H. Cixous, S. de Beauvoir, P. de Man, J. Derrida, F. de Saussure, S. Fish, M. Foucault, N. Frye, H. Gadamer, M. Heidegger, E. Husserl, L. Irigaray, W. Iser, J. Kristeva, J. Lacan, C-L. Strauss, J-F. Lyotard, K. Marx, and V. Shklovsky. Each of these theorists is introduced in a Context that places him/her in a continuum of history, philosophy, literature, and politics. A Summary of chosen well-anthologized essays and excerpted chapters follows that highlights the text on a near paragraph by paragraph basis. Next is an Analysis that provides a full linguistic, stylistic, and logical interpretation. (this is the part that your professors will be surprised that you know). Finally there is a wrap-up Essay Question of the type that you might find on an exam or can use as a starting point for a research project. And of course there is a lengthy multi-paragraph response. The prose style is suitable for both undergraduate and graduate students. High school and college/university instructors will find this book as a useful aid for lesson planning. Finally, you need not even be a student enrolled in a formal course to benefit. For those who are out of school and have an intellectual bent, you will discover just what all the hoopla is about the next time someone else starts discussing theory and you want to join in. Now you can. The Smart Student's Guide to Modern Literary Theory is no easy read. It is indeed a challenge, but the knowledge contained herein is part of what it means to know why and how literature affects us the way it does.

Philosophical work on the mind flowed in two streams through the 20th century: phenomenology and analytic philosophy. The phenomenological tradition began with Brentano and was developed by such great European philosophers as Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre, and Merleau-Ponty. As the century advanced, Anglophone philosophers increasingly developed their own distinct styles and methods of studying the mind, and a gulf seemed to open up between the two traditions. This volume aims to bring them together again, by demonstrating how work in phenomenology may lead to significant progress on problems central to current analytic research, and how analytical philosophy of mind may shed light on phenomenological concerns. Leading figures from both traditions contribute specially written essays on such central topics as consciousness, intentionality, perception, action, self-knowledge, temporal awareness, and mental content. Phenomenology and Philosophy of Mind demonstrates that these different approaches to the mind should not stand in opposition to each other, but can be mutually illuminating.
