Biography
Paul Cobley is Reader in Communications at London Metropolitan University. His previous publications include Introducing Semiotics and Narrative (Routledge, 2001).
'This ambitious companion presents a comprehensive picture of the lineage, present state, and future directions of the field of semiotics... This volume is bound to provoke deep engagement with semiotics, the study of the difference between illusion and reality. Summing Up: Highly recommended.' – CHOICE, February 2010
'... the present review cannot conclude but by emphasizing the importance of Paul Cobley's work, his almost heroic ability of trying to offer a synthesis of the very various and very rapidly changing present-day semiotic panorama, and the efficacy of this volume as a portolan for the student as well as for the advanced researcher of semiotics. The Routledge Companion to Semiotics will be a must in the library of every respectable semiotician.' - Massimo Leone, University of Torino
