"Peter Szondi is widely regarded as being among the most distinguished postwar literary critics. This first English edition of one of his most lucid andinteresting series of lectures, translated by Martha Woodmansee and with aforeward by Joel Weinsheimer, opens up his work in hermeneutics forEnglish-speaking readers. The question of what is involved in understanding a text occupied biblical and legal scholars long before it became a concern of literary critics. Peter Szondi here traces the development of hermeneutics through examination ofthe work of eighteenth-century German scholars. Ordinarily treated only asprefigurations of Schleiermacher, the work of Enlightenment theorists JohannMartin Chladenius, Georg Friedrich Meier, and Friedrich Ast yields valuableinsight into the "material theory" of interpretation - an epistemology of understanding on which a practical interpretive methodology might be built."

"Postmodern fiction presents a challenge to the reader: instead of enjoying it passively, the reader has to work to understand its meanings, to think about what fiction is, and to question their own responses. Yet this very challenge makes postmodern writing so much fun to read and rewarding to study. Unlike most introductions to postmodernism and fiction, this book places the emphasis on literature rather than theory. It introduces the most prominent British and American novelists associated with postmodernism, from the 'pioneers', Beckett, Borges and Burroughs, to important post-war writers such as Pynchon, Carter, Atwood, Morrison, Gibson, Auster, DeLillo, and Ellis. Designed for students and clearly written, this Introduction explains the preoccupations, styles and techniques that unite postmodern authors. Their work is characterized by a self-reflexive acknowledgement of its status as fiction, and by the various ways in which it challenges readers to question common-sense and commonplace assumptions about literature."
