A superb Anthology. Several famous thinkers and philosophers (from Plato to Freud) as well as some not so well known contemporaries are introduced succinctly followed by a selection of some of their key writings. First class editorial work, comprehensively referenced and analysed, this book could introduce to an open minded reader new concepts and ways of perceiving and understanding the world as formulated by influential thinkers whose works he could look into more thoroughly after getting a first idea. Indispensable. ( )

Massive and comprehensive. Both of which are very good things. ( )

An excellent and authoritative anthology of literary theory, covering all the major schools. ( )

A lot of information. Peruse with a ready and open mind, and you will be amazed. The author introductions are wonderful. ( )
