The Penguin Dictionary of Critical Theory

Description

'Remarkable for its comprehensiveness, mapping 'theory' across a wide range if disciplines and art forms. It is certainly a reference book I will want to have on my own shelves' David Lodge Accessing the huge selection of critical theory can be an intimidating experience. This acclaimed dictionary is an invaluable introduction to the theories and theorists in the field and will prove an authoritative resource for all students.

David Macey is the author of 'Lacan in Contexts' (1988), 'The Lives of Michel Foucault' (1993) and 'Franz Fanon- A Biography' (2000). He lives in Leeds.

'extremely good...Bravo!' Professor Jonathan Culler 'This is an unusual instance of an academic reference book that I do believe doubles quite effectively as a textbook for students and I would recommend it unreservedly to anyone with an interest in theoretical matters, or just in the history of ideas.' Dr Duncan Wu, University of Cambridge
