Review # 1 was written on 2020-07-13 00:00:00 Larry Kirk my impression is that the argument over-emphasizes marxism's role in bakhtin's writings. nevertheless, thoughtful, rigorous, &c.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-05-25 00:00:00 Nuha Al Khalili I had to teach this book to a student and I should say that it can be a living nightmare to those who have a limited knowledge of literary theory. Selden has taken for granted that you are aware of all of the literary theories and he feels free to digress or refer to the names of the least known literary theorists, but this book can serve as a satisfactory summary of literary theory for those who have an acceptable knowledge of the literary criticism. For me, the second reading was rather illuminating and enjoyable. I wouldn't recommend it as an introduction to literary theory though.
