Revolutions of the Word: Intellectual Contexts for the Study of Modern Literature

This Reader is the first of its kind to offer access to important intellectual contexts that have helped to mold the production and reception of twentieth-century literature. Representing such fields as the philosophy of science, theories of knowledge, anthropology, psychoanalysis, religion, and social and political theory, the manifestos, essays, and excerpts are surrounded with substantial editorial commentary and section introductions throughout.
