Veering: a theory of literature

In this powerful analysis of the perceived demise of theory and rise of creative writing in literary and cultural studies, Nicholas Royle meddles with our ideas about theory, autobiography, and literature. He explores the writings of Montaigne, Dryden, Wordsworth, Coleridge and Nabokov, as well as Lucretius, Freud, Bloom, Guy Debord, Cixous, Barthes, Derrida and Nancy.
