Fantastic series. It’s too bad whoever uploaded them hasn’t bothered to put them in sequential order. The sound is also very poor quality.
Lectures are well-informed and fair to the theorists' visions. Obviously it can't go into everything (and certain details get lost when you're glossing over like this) but as an introduction to these ideas these lectures are very good.
This was a great course for learning an introduction to literary theory. The professor is funny at times, and seems to support the old notion that if a lecturer loves what they are talking about the course will be more interesting. This is a great course for anyone interested in how to think about texts and language.
