Section One is devoted to resolving this central dichotomy by examining issues that are highly contentious within literary theory (the author, intention, value, postmodernism and history). Section Two critiques theory as a whole within the arts and discusses its possible existence in this non-rational environment. It articulates a number of possible responses with consequences for future research and education.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1996-10-15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780333655689\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/9780230375727\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 203cm x127cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 182\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47678323228812,"sku":"9780333655689","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780333655689.jpg?v=1776563804","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780333655689","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
