Literature Politics & Theory [EPUB ebook] 

First Published in 2002. Modes and categories inherited from the past no longer seem to fit the reality experienced by a new generation. ‚New Accents‘ is intended as a positive response to the initiative offered by such a situation. Each volume in the series will seek to encourage rather than resist the process of change, to stretch rather than reinforce the boundaries that currently define literature and its academic study. The present selection of papers, made from nearly two hundred published, represents in some measure the diversity of the work at the eight Essex Sociology of Literature Conferences.
