Product Description

Review
'extremely good...Bravo!' Professor Jonathan Culler 'This is an unusual instance of an academic reference book that I do believe doubles quite effectively as a textbook for students and I would recommend it unreservedly to anyone with an interest in theoretical matters, or just in the history of ideas.' Dr Duncan Wu, University of Cambridge

Product Description
Accessing the huge selection of critical theory can be an intimidating experience. This acclaimed dictionary is an invaluable introduction to the theories and theorists in the field and will prove an authoritative resource for all students.

5.0 out of 5 stars Critical Theory, 1 Feb 2009
The Penguin Dictionary of Critical Theory (Penguin Reference Books)

Bought this for my wife, who works in Higher Education. Colleagues have a look through it and then go and buy their own copy. An excellent reference book for people interested in ideas.
