Textual Practice Volume 8, Issue 1

Edited By Terence Hawkes, Jean Howard Copyright 1994

    Since its launch in 1987 Textual Practice has established itself as a leading journal of radical literary theory. New approaches to literary texts are naturally a major feature, but in exploring apparently discrete areas such as philosophy, history, law, science, architecture, gender and media studies, Textual Practice pays no heed to traditional academic boundaries. As usual, this issue covers the full range of interests in the sphere of current critical and cultural activity in Britain and the USA. From the seventeenth century (Gary Taylor, Tamsin Spargo articles) to the Renaissance (Andrew Stott article), to the twentieth century (Stephen Heath, Tyrus Miller articles). The issue covers AIDS, politics, literature and feminism and features some of the foremost writers in these areas (Terry Eagleton, Stephen Greenblatt). Textual Practice is available both on subscription and from bookstores.
