"...a clear and engaging introduction to some of themost important areas of modern literary theorizing. What setsthis apart from a simple introduction, however, is the way that thegeneral theoretical position outlined in each chapter is keyed intothe context of modern classical studies...a useful book and onethat can be strongly recommended to undergraduates and evenintrepid sixth-formers..."

"Schmitz is clearly an intelligent reader and advocate oftheory. It is a solid piece of work which will, I hope, serve as astarting point for acquainting many classicists with the questionsand challenges theory has to offer. The field as a whole will onlybenefit from Schmitz's contribution." (New EnglandClassical Journal)"Thomas Schmitz's book provides a clear, lively andintelligent guide through most major areas of modern literarytheory and their application to the study of classical literature.It neatly identifies key theoretical texts and thinkers, andprovides telling examples which lend colour and life to theimpressive range of concepts discussed. He is refreshingly honestabout his own prejudices and difficulties, while remainingeven-handed and balanced in discussion; his presentation of theproblems and objections faced by each theory is especially helpful.This excellent book has something to offer for every seriouscontemporary student of classical literature."
