Overview
Overview
This text is a study of the thinking which underlies recent theory about literary history. Through analysis of particular literary histories - most of them contemporary works - Perkins elaborates on two fundamental problems that arise in the writing of literary history: the contradictions inherent in organizing, structuring and presenting the subject; and the always unsuccessful attempt of literary histories to explain the development of the literature they describe.
