Introduction to Poetics (2) - Avadanei Stefan    

- William Empson: "Literary criticism is getting steadily more absurd."

 

- Ronald Sukenick: "Theory is a sign of ignorance. It becomes important when we are no longer sure what we are doing. We are passing through a time when all the 'paradigms' of fiction are called into question and in consequence we begin to see the development of a poetics of fiction. Preferably the theory should be implicit in the novel, the poetics part of the poem."

 

- Tzvetan Todorov: "The object of literary theory is not work but literary discourse..."
