'As good a short introduction to postmodernism as one is likely to find, providing an admirable model for the student who may feel lost in the jostling critical crowd. - Steven Connor, University of LondonThe Postmodern Arts: An Introductory Reader is a beautifully written and refreshingly lucid guide to the field. It is an indispensable aid, providing essential material and invaluable guidance to current issues and debates.As with all books in the Critical Readers in Theory and Practice series, The Postmodern Arts is divided into two halves: the first, a comprehensive and thorough introduction by the editor, offering a schematic survey of the major themes and positions taken in the debates around modernism and postmodernism. The second is a collection of pertinent essays grouped into four sections to demonstrate how the debates have been applied to specific cultural activities:* Literature* Popular Culture* Architecture and Visual Arts* Documentary FilmThe Postmodern Arts provides essential material and invaluable guidance for students of modern literature and culture.
