These essays set out to re-analyse major figures and discussions in critical theory. They pose questions often neglected or overlooked by a readership in constant pursuit of new theoretical positions. The contributors look at the work of major theorists and writers, including William Empson, Deleuze, Guattari, Chekov and Jameson. Concepts which have been destabilized in modern critical theory, such as truth, self, action and history, are reassessed through their work, with the aim of shedding new light on many important issues in critical studies today. This collection brings together established critics and new names in the field of theory. It should be a useful text for students of literature, critical theory and philosophy.
