Full Description
After Theory forms a companion volume to Leitch's earlier American Literary Criticism from the 1930s to the 1980s, which is regarded as a standard in the field. American Literary Criticism covered a long range, from the 1920s Agrarian movement which precipitated the New Criticism through the major theoretical programs of the 60s and 70s, such as deconstruction, feminism, and Marxism.
