Structuralist Poetics: Structuralism, Linguistics and the Study of Literature (Routledge Classics)

by Jonathan Culler (Author)

Synopsis

A work of technical skill as well as outstanding literary merit, Structuralist Poetics was awarded the 1975 James Russell Lowell Prize of the Modern Language Association. It was during the writing of this book that Culler developed his now famous and remarkably complex theory of poetics and narrative, and while never a populariser he nonetheless makes it crystal clear within these pages.
