Reading After Theory

Reading After Theory by Valentine Cunningham

Valentine Cunningham's controversial manifesto asks what will and should happen to reading in the post-theory era.

"This publisher's 'Manifestos' series seeks to offer educated but general readers chewy presentations of contemporary ideas, and Cunningham (English language and literature, Oxford) is stellar in his honing to that themeThis book is fun, involving, and inviting as both a social book-discussion subject and an important text that graduate students and literary specialists need to consider. Library Journal

"Valentine Cunningham's sharp, amusing critical polemic" Times Literary Supplement

"In the process of developing his argument and attempting to refocus critical attention on the text - both the literary and the critical text - and what it says, Cunningham displays an intimate knowledge of the major works of contemporary literary theory." Choice
