Description

William Empson's Critical Achievement offers a comprehensive study of the literary critic's work, exploring his complex and often contentious relationship with modern critical theory. This collection of nine essays examines Empson's contributions to the development of English as an academic discourse and his responses to key thinkers such as Derrida. A major reevaluation of Empson's place in theoretical tradition is provided by Christopher Norris's introduction, which charts the ground for a fresh assessment of Empson's critical achievement. This book provides a valuable insight into the enduring significance of Empson's work and its continued relevance in contemporary literary studies.
