Summary "After Poststructuralism is an accessible account of the past and present fortunes of theory, suitable for anyone researching, teaching or studying in the field. However, it offers much more than this, by tracing the real contribution of poststructuralist thought to core philosophical and critical issues. Most importantly, Colin Davis's study offers a way forward for the humanities - a way forward in which theory will play a crucial part."--BOOK JACKET
