AlbakiReads Editorial
A structural approach to literary study
Jonathan Culler’s book examines how structuralism and linguistics can inform the study of literature. Its central concern is the organization of literary works: the description presents Culler as seeking a systematic account of structure, shifting attention from interpreting a work’s meaning alone. The second edition includes a new preface in which Culler responds to criticisms of his approach and discusses its continuing relevance. With literary criticism and semiotics as its context, the book offers a theoretical framework for considering how literary works are structured.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Readers studying literary criticism, structuralism, or semiotics
- Students and scholars interested in applying linguistic ideas to literature
