Publisher Description "Robert Scholes has written an enviable book on the uses and abuses of literary theory in the teaching of literature. One of [his] most forceful points…is that literary theory is not something a teacher may either use or not use, for teaching itself is an unavoidably theoretical activity."—Gerald Graff, Novel"Scholes emphasis in Textual Power is indicated by the books subtitle. After a provocative analysis of disciplinary values and departmental tendencies…[he] proposes that we must stop "teaching literature" and start studying texts…His book is essential for college libraries."—R.C. Gebhardt, Choice"There is no issue more current, more relevant to the present scene, than the problem of pedagogy and its relation to contemporary theory. Textual Power is an important, provocative, and above all useful contribution to this discussion."—Gregory L. Ulmer Robert Scholes, author of Structuralism in Literature and Semiotics and Interpretation among other books, is Alumni-Alumnae University Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Brown University. Author Biography Robert Scholes is Research Professor of Modern Culture and Media, Brown University.
