Review

　'Twenty years ago, if you wanted to know where literary theory was at, I'd say semiotics, and Culler's Pursuit of Signs was the best way to see the links. Today? Same answer. Overview, criticism, problems and solutions: Culler offers them all in each chapter, on key topics and questions of the humanities. The book has the same urgency and acuity that it had then. Except that, with the interdisciplinary turn taking hold, literary theory itself, through this book, becomes a much more widespread tool for cultural analysis.'

...that in planning literature courses teachers think of literature

not as a hallowed sequence of works defined by literary

history but as a species of writing, a mode of representation, that

occupies a very problematic role in the cultures in which our

students live. We often complain that students have not read

enough when they come to college, but the problem is not a

quantitative one that would be solved by more assigned readings.

The problem is structural, involving the marginal situation

of literature within the students’ cultures. In combating or dealing

with the cultural formation of today’s undergraduates,

grounding in philology and a comprehensive chronological survey

of English literature may be quite badly equipped fo...

In The Liberal Imagination Lionel Trilling

observed of ‘our cultural situation’ that, ‘briefly put, it is that

there exists a great gulf between our educated class and the best

of our literature.’5 Eliminating that gulf ought to be the goal

both of general literary education as conducted at the undergraduate

and graduate levels and of professional training for

future teachers. In the time since Trilling wrote, this gulf has

doubtless been widened or deepened by the tendency of literary

critics to treat literature as a thing apart, something to be studied

in and for itself...If one is interested in the nature of literature, and such

an interest seems central to the concerns of both a liberal education

To gain a deeper understanding of the literary movement that has dominated recent Anglo-American literary criticism, The Pursuit of Signs is a must. In a world increasingly mediated, it offers insights into our ways of consuming texts that are both brilliant and bold. Dancing through semiotics, reader-response criticism, the value of the apostrophe and much more, Jonathan Culler opens up for every reader the closed world of literary criticism. Its impact on first publication, in 1981, was immense; now, as Mieke Bal notes, 'the book has the same urgency and acuity that it had then', though today it has even wider implications: 'with the interdisciplinary turn taking hold, literary theory itself, through this book, becomes a much more widespread tool for cultural analysis'.
