Bøker av Robert Scholes

The nature and leading exponents of the structuralist movement are considered together with the structural poetics of fiction and drama.

Discussing a range of literary theory, Scholes considers texts from literature and life including paintings, novels, photographs and biographies. He argues that reading is incomplete unless it enters the consciousness of the reader.

Robert Scholes's now classic Rise and Fall of English was a stinging indictment of the discipline of English literature in the United States. In English after the Fall, Scholes moves from identifying where the discipline has failed to provide concrete solutions that will help restore vitality and relevance to the discipline.
