Irony and Crisis by Stuart Sim

Postmodernism is more than just an intellectual theory. It is something we can see in action at grass roots, something that affects us all. An undergraduate essential, Irony and Crisis is an indispensable guide to the key ideas of contemporary thinking, bringing together secondary material from hard-to-find sources, linked with an informed editorial narrative.

Northumbria University's Stuart Sim is a Professor of Critical Theory and Long Eighteenth-Century English Literature. The End of Modernity: What the Financial & Environmental Crisis Is Really Telling Us (2010), The Routledge Companion to Postmodernism, 3rd edition (2011), The Lyotard Dictionary (2011), and Addicted to Profit: Recovering Our Lives from the Free Market (2012) are among his past writings.
