Description
The Landscape of literary theory during the last four decades has been a chaotic and rapidly changing scene, with many rival voices clamoring for attention. Recognizing that there is a disturbing dearth of Christian literary theory, Clarence Walhout and Leland Ryken have compiled this volume of essays in order to explain several predominantly secular theories and assess them from a Christian perspective.
