 | Rhetorical Power In this provocative and forcefully written book, Steven Mailloux takes issue with the validity of a number of distinctions commonly made in contemporary literary theory and cultural studies--distinctions between theory and history, reader and text, truth and ideology, aesthetics and politics. Steven Mailloux is Professor Emeritus of English at the University of California, Irvine. He is also the author of Reception Histories: Rhetoric, Pragmatism, and American Cultural Politics , also published by Cornell University Press. |
