Outline of Critical Theory - Linguistical Theories of Literature

Famous quotes containing the words theories and/or literature:

“The real trouble about women is that they must always go on trying to adapt themselves to men’s theories of women, as they always have done. When a woman is thoroughly herself, she is being what her type of man wants her to be. When a woman is hysterical it’s because she doesn’t quite know what to be, which pattern to follow, which man’s picture of woman to live up to.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)

“If a nation’s literature declines, the nation atrophies and decays.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
