## Description

Accessing the huge selection of critical theory can be an intimidating experience. This acclaimed dictionary is an invaluable introduction to the theories and theorists in the field and will prove an authoritative resource for all students.

Review: An exciting and accessible A-Z guide to critical theory. - This is an exciting, intellectually stimulating and comprehensive A-Z guide to critical theory. This 2001 edition has wide-ranging entries including overviews of the work of key theorists such as Antonio Gramsci, Stuart Hall, Judith Butler, Friedrich Nietzsche, Jacques Derrida, Gilles Deleuze, Michel Foucault & Edward Said. There are also lucid summaries of deconstruction, postmodernism, Orientalism, hermeneutics, Marxism and many more. David Macey's 'Dictionary of Critical Theory' explains complex ideas in an accessible and engaging way. Although an updated edition is needed, this dictionary is still highly recommended to humanities and social science students requiring knowledge of theory and also the general reader curious about an often abstruse and controversial field.
