Critique of Modern Textual Criticism (McGann - paperback)

Author: Jerome J. McGann

ISBN: 9780813914183

Binding: paperback

Section: Reference-Writing

This small but powerful book initiated a major shift in literary theory and method when it was first published in 1983. Starting from a critical inquiry into certain specialized issues in the practice of editing, McGann gradually unfolds an argument for a general revaluation of the grounds of literary study as a whole.
