Choice-Rezension
Not casual reading, this anthology is destined for the classroom, though it provides less detail than two or three other readers (i.e., Feminisms, ed. by Robyn Warhol and Diane Price Herndl, 1991; Marxist Literary Theory, ed. by Terry Eagleton and Drew Milne, 1996; The Cultural Studies Reader, ed. by Simon During, 1993). Rivkin and Ryan attempt to get every kind of furniture under one roof. Each of ten sections features subdivisions--e.g., "Formalisms," with several Russian formalists, Cleanth Brooks, and Bakhtin (!); "Historicisms"; "Ethnic Studies, Post-Coloniality, and International Studies." The introductions to each section generalize well in limited space, but the editors are unnecessarily shy in their desire to "let the texts speak for themselves." How might these selected texts go together? The editors acknowledge frequent excerpting; but at times the short or cut up selections give the anthology the appearance of a heavily annotated bibliography. This fashionable book will serve libraries best as a reference tool for literary theory. S. C. Dillon; Bates College
Library Journal-Rezension
Rivkin (Connecticut Coll.) and Ryan (Northeastern Univ.) have designed this anthology for courses in literary theory at the graduate or at best advanced undergraduate level. Its title suggests a much more comprehensive scope than is in fact the case. There is no Aristotle here, no Sir Phillip Sidney, no Matthew Arnold. Instead, this anthology aims to include only contemporary literary theory, which means that the earliest pieces date back only to the 1920s, and many of the essays were written within the past decade. Attempting to include texts that are not commonly available, it also embraces the "heterodox and newly canonical" to provide students with a broad range of current viewpoints. The 100-plus essays and essay excerpts are grouped into ten categories, such as "Marxism," "Feminism," and "Gender Studies," with most of the introductory essays in each section written by the editors themselves. There is also a fine index. Despite a multiplicity of such anthologies, this one seems to live up to its claim that it is the most comprehensive one available. The list of essays included is available at Blackwell's website .ÄPeter A. Dollard, Alma Coll. Lib., Mt. Pleasant, MI (c) Copyright 2010.
