About the Book

Using a wide-ranging variety of texts the author reviews and evaluates an equally broad range of approaches to textual commentary, introducing the reader to the fundamental distinction between `actual' and `virtual' worlds in critical practice, arguing for an unambiguous relation between critical practice and theories of language, and elucidating the critically important practice of how texts mean.
