Literary Theories

Famous quotes containing the words literary and/or theories:

    ... my last work is no sooner on the stands than letters come, suggesting a subject. The grandmothers of strangers are crying from the grave, it seems, for literary recognition; it is bewildering, the number of salty grandfathers, aunts and uncles that languish unappreciated.
    Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)

    A work of art that contains theories is like an object on which the price tag has been left.
