Spinoza & the Origins of Modern Critical Theory (The Bucknell Lectures in Literary Theory)

By Christopher Norris

Book Overview

This book offers the first detailed account of Spinoza's influence -- direct or oblique -- on various schools of present-day critical thought. That influence extends from Althusserian Marxism to hermeneutics, deconstruction, narrative poetics, New Historicism, and the unclassifiable writings of a thinker like Gilles Deleuze.
