Synopsis "Kinds of Literature - an Introduction to the Theory of Genres and Modes"
In this important book, the first general study of genre theory, Alastair Fowler investigates the meaning of genres and how modern literature relates to the traditional categories. For some time now it has been taken for granted that the old order of historical kinds has irrevocably gone; inthe main critics have preferred to talk about genres - or "modes" - in a broad, unhistorical way. This seldom makes for better reading of literature; and, dealing with a very small repertoire of modes, it has tended to narrow the literary canon.Kinds of Literature springs from the conviction that it is time to recover a sense of the variety of literary forms. To this end, and groundging his study in a welath of examples, Professor Fowler reconstructs genre theory and opens it to historical considerations. He takes into account variationover the years and across the national borders, and traces the actual mechanisms of literary change.
