Hi there,

Question

I've really been trying to understand the theory of postmodern criticism and modern criticism, but I still can't seem to understand what it is. I've been researching on the web, & it's still not very clear. I hope someone can help me out here.

thanks so much.

Other teachers may have more suggestions for you. Here are mine -- read widely:

Since I'm not a big fan of people who practice literary criticism of any kind, it's hard for me to tell you what each of these is about. I adhere more toward Mortimer Adler's Great Books ideas -- read the texts, draw your own conclusions, and participate in shared inquiry.
