What is literary theory? Is there a relationship between literature and culture? These are some of questions addressed by Jonathan Culler in this new edition of his highly popular Very Short Introduction. Culler, an extremely lucid commentator and much admired in the field of literary theory, uses easy-to-grasp examples as he outlines the ideas behind schools of criticism that can otherwise be quite daunting, such as deconstruction, semiotics, and postcolonial theory. He explains "theory" not by describing warring "schools" but by sketching key "moves" that theory has encouraged, and by speaking directl

Literary Theory: A Very Short Introduction by Jonathan Culler Book Review

Name: Richard B. Schwartz
Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars
Title: A Superb Introduction to a Now-Dated Subject
Date: Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2017
Review: This is an excellent introduction to Literary Theory by a person who is well positioned to provide it. Jonathan Culler has achieved prominence for his ability to explain complex materials in a fair and balanced way. Here the subject is one of his ‘usuals’—literary theory. Note that this is capital-T Theory, not the literary theory which begins in antiquity, continues through the middle ages, renaissance and enlightenment until being somewhat displaced by the Romantics under the particular influence of Kant’s Critique of Judgment. This is the theory associated with the French Nietzscheans and their structuralist predecessors (again, preceded by the linguistic concerns of Saussure).

Culler is clearly fascinated by it and supportive of it, but he realizes its hegemonic tendencies, which is particularly interesting for an intellectual movement which is centered around the effacing of cultural hegemony. He notes, e.g., that Theory consciously reduces our study of literature (we still read Shakespeare, but Beaumont and Fletcher, Ben Jonson, Thomas Kyd, et al. not so much). He recognizes and acknowledges the politicization that is never far from the surface in the work of Theory’s practitioners. He does not go so far as to say (with Theory’s critics) that Theory’s attack on the enlightenment and its norms is a way of salvaging socialism; since socialism’s fortunes in the real world are stained with blood, the truth claims of the enlightenment empiricism which records those processes are systematically undercut. He does not point out the antinomianism which frequently characterizes Theory; E.D. Hirsch, e.g., has described it as ‘cognitive atheism’.

Most important, he is far more optimistic about Theory’s future than current practice would suggest. Louis Menand, e.g., has charted the tendencies in postwar literary study and has seen us now move past Theory’s better days. At the micro level the student interest in Theory has waned immensely, though its political dimensions continue to influence their practices. At my institution the number of prospective graduate students expressing an interest in specializing in Theory has dwindled to a small trickle. The contrast between current realities and the days in which Theory’s advocates argued for a complete displacement of traditional literary study has passed.

Bottom line: Culler’s introduction is now, primarily, a historical document, but it is a very good one, one that not only identifies the players and their ‘schools’ (acknowledging that the outlines of such entities are often vague). He even includes some clever and instructive cartoons (without noting, in passing, that Theory’s practices are often conducive to such representations). The writing is very lucid, in contrast to the often opaque and convoluted writing of the Theorists themselves.

In sum, this is an excellent short introduction to the subject, one of the best in this series.

Title: Wrong title
Date: Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2008
Review: Literary theory is a vastly forbidding topic for anyone to describe, especially in a modest sized text as one of the Very Short Introduction series. In LITERARY THEORY, Jonathan Culler, the much published deconstructionist, attempts to write a basic text for the novice. To judge the extent that he`succeeds, one must assume that the reader is your typical undergraduate English major who has heard of the mind numbing complexities of Theory and wishes to read a Cliff's notes type introduction prior to the first day of class. The question is this: If this student thoroughly digests Culler's text and no other, will he be ready for the mystifyingly arcane linguistic tsunami of Derrida, Foucault, Lacan, et al that awaits him? The answer, sadly, is no. The primary problem is that Culler has written the wrong book, or at least should have retitled it as Your First College Course in Literature: A Very Short Introduction. Far too much of LITERARY THEORY covers ground that is normally trod in Introduction to Lit 101. Out of the eight chapters supposedly about schools of critical theory, Culler zeroes in on the definition of literature, its relation to Cultural Studies, rhetoric, narrative, performative language, and identity and the subject--all matters of high import but not what is normally thought of as Theory. It is only at the concluding appendix that Culler delves into the various schools of critical theory--and even here he gives them short shrift with superficial definition and no way how to use them to view texts under differing schools of thought. The highly praising blurb on the very first page by Patricia Waugh indicates this problem: She lauds Culler for his politic "avoidance of the usual plod through schools and approaches" that in her mind is no problem at all. But for the rank novice, this plod is essential. LITERARY THEORY, then ironically enough is a handy text indeed for covering what it does cover, but as for fulfilling the promise of its title, this novice may finish the first day of class and wonder why he does not grasp the finer points of the Lacanian Other.

Title: A gentle introduction to theory
Date: Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2006
Review: The fact that literary theory is often referred to as just 'theory' should alert the newcomer to its amorphous and unfocused nature. It is no longer concerned just with literature, but with every aspect of culture and experience. It is a theory of theories, a post-modernist stocktaking of the western intellectual tradition.

Culler traces several paths through this boundless philosophical landscape. Seven such paths actually, exploring aspects of language, identity and meaning. These constitute as gentle an introduction as is possible. In fact, it is difficult to imagine a better guide than Culler, with his clear and elegant style and his breadth of knowledge. Although this is not a conventional school-by-school primer, there is a section at the end briefly summarizing the major schools, from Russian Formalism to Queer Theory (yes, you heard right). The author advises that you can read these summaries before, after, or during the main text. I recommend leaving them until after, when they will be a lot more meaningful. Otherwise, they might frighten you off from reading the text itself.

The illustrations consist of a half-dozen or so vaguely relevant cartoons. I suppose, as this series is illustrated, OUP felt obliged to include something, even if the text had no need of it. More positively, this book is blessedly free of the typos that normally bedevil the series.

If you wish to 'dip your toe in the water' of literary theory (and be warned, it is a maelstrom) Culler's book is the perfect place to do it.
