Description
Structuralist Poetics is a seminal work that revolutionized literary criticism and theory. Jonathan Culler presents a comprehensive examination of structuralist approaches to literature, exploring how meaning emerges not from inherent properties of texts but through systematic relationships within language and culture.
The book bridges theoretical concepts with practical literary analysis, demonstrating how structuralist methods can unlock deeper understandings of narrative, poetry, and cultural meaning-making. Culler’s clear exposition makes complex theoretical ideas accessible to scholars and students alike, establishing foundational concepts that continue to influence literary studies today.
As part of Routledge Classics, this edition preserves the intellectual rigor of the original while introducing contemporary readers to the transformative impact of structuralist thinking on how we read and interpret texts.
