Great Resource, Jam-Packed

This book collects so many important and pivotal works. I bought it for a literary theory class nearly ten years ago, and I've returned to it again and again.

Saussere and Derrida

I would just like to point out that seminal essays from both Saussere and Derrida ARE included in this survey of critical theory. Background information and suggested further readings are provided for both theorists as well.
