A Critique of Modern Textual Criticism, Foreword by David C Greetham

by Jerome J. McGann

Overview

This small but powerful book initiated a major shift in literary theory and method when it was first published in 1983. Starting from a critical inquiry into certain specialized issues in the practice of editing, McGann gradually unfolds an argument for a general revaluation of the grounds of literary study as a whole.
