This hypertext exists for students of literary theory as well as for anyone who has any interest in learning more about the culture within which we live. The definitions provided of various schools of theory are somewhat basic, and in no way can meet the challenge of telling you everything you may want to know about a particular movement. My purpose in creating this hypertext is to provide a working definition as well as pertinant background information and textual application examples for the five schools of theory listed below.
Any material contained within is for educational purposes.
