Textual Intervention: Critical and Creative Strategies for Literary Studies

Textual Intervention draws on a combination of discourse analysis, performance techniques, critical theory and creative writing. While engaging with current debates about cultural production and reproduction, it also encourages students to go beyond them and become analysts, critics and writers in their own right. This is a book about reconstruction as well as deconstruction. Its 'user-friendly' organisation and remarkable range make it a stimulating textbook for a wide variety of courses in language, literature and cultural studies.
