I think that Waugh and the late Rice put together a very nice collection of works about literature, philosophy and society that gives a wonderfully informative overview of the views that have shaped literary theory. Marxist ideologies are quite prevalent throughout the history of lit theory, it would seem. It was quite amusing to read deconstructionist works and then later find critics like Said pointing out how those opposing structuralism ended up creating their own structures. The finale really threw me off, though. The last essay is "A Manifesto for Cyborgs" by Donna Haraway: a (perhaps too) self-conscious parody that posits the cyborg as the ultimate escape for radical feminism... or something. It was difficult to follow and had the most bizarre citations.

On the whole, a great reader, but just chock full of typos. A really embarrassing amount in almost every essay. I hope the revised addition after this one straightens all that up.
