Contemporary Fiction and the Uses of Theory - The Novel from Structuralism to Postmodernism

This topical study examines the novelizations of radical literary theory in the work of A.S. Byatt, Angela Carter, Umberto Eco, John Fowles, Richard Powers, and many other leading novelists. It offers a comprehensive analysis of the post-theoretical novel and traces an alternative history of the theory revolution in the pages of recent literary fiction.
