Davis and Kenneth Womack offers an accessible introduction to two important movements in the history of twentieth-century literary theory. A complementary text to the Palgrave volume \u003ci\u003ePostmodern Narrative Theory\u003c\/i\u003e by Mark Currie, this new title addresses a host of theoretical concerns, as well as each field's principal figures and interpretive modes. As with other books in the \u003ci\u003eTransitions\u003c\/i\u003e series, \u003ci\u003eFormalist Criticism and Reader-response Theory\u003c\/i\u003e includes readings of a range of widely-studied texts, including Joseph Conrad's \u003ci\u003eHeart of Darkness\u003c\/i\u003e, Charlotte Bronte's \u003ci\u003eJane Eyre\u003c\/i\u003e, and F.

Guiding the reader through the poetics and politics of interpretative paradigms and schools of thought, \u003ci\u003eTransitions\u003c\/i\u003e helps direct the student's own acts of critical analysis. As well as transforming the critical developments of the past by interpreting them from the perspective of the present day, each study enacts transitional readings of a number of well-known literary texts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eTODD F.
