Modern Language, Philosophy and Criticism
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-031-30496-5 (ISBN)
This books delineates the seismic shifts of the twentieth century humanities by way of a close examination of the dynamic landscape of modern language, criticism and philosophy. In this manner, it argues that both philosophy and literary criticism have dovetailed in the twenty-first century. Starting out as a survey of literary criticism in its broadest terms, later chapters - which are more expository - assess recent movements within modern literary theory. These are located with respect to the post-Russell and Fregean "linguistic turn" in philosophy.
Designed for specialists and non-specialists alike; philosophers, literary critics and even students of the modern critical tradition, the argument takes a novel stance towards modern criticism, language and philosophy, arguing for a return to a more formalist and rhetorical approach to literary criticism, while taking care not to indulge too many "political pathologies" when engaging with texts.
Wayne Deakin is Assistant Professor and Senior Lecturer in Literature and Language in the Department of English at Chiang Mai University in Thailand. He is the author of Hegel and the English Romantic Tradition (2015) and numerous journal articles and book reviews.
