Literature, Literary Theory & Literary Criticism: A History from a Christian perspective

Description

Sweeping in scope, and Christian in its perspective, this vital and unique book offers a history of Western literature and literary studies for university students and the general reader. Taking the view that creativity is an essential, God-given component of being human, Dr Sandra Percy skilfully takes the reader from the classical age through to the perils of postmodernist theory.
