In Literary Criticism From Plato To the Present, Eminent Philosopher of Language, Michael Habib, traces the evolution and place of western literary theory in cultural context, from the founding of Platonism to the dusty peaks of Postmodernism. While containing a touch of comparative history, Habib's work is chiefly macro, providing an insightful survey for students, school teachers, librarians, general readers, poets and philosophers alike, to make out lines of movement that have shaped and changed the way we understand and appreciate written discourse.

Within these pages The Reader finds a rich, vibrant map of significant events from Greek tragic philosophy to Spenserian allegory, the rise of structuralism, deconstruction and other Victorian shock tactics, thought experiment and linguistic speculation of Wittgenstein, Sartre and the Americans, literary new criticism's challenge to received canons, ancient saint ideas of tropology as German Idealism moves through Romanticism and into the mindless maze of the Textual Critic and popularity wars of the Fifties. This panorama is skillfully paired with crucial dialogue, entering critical debate in depth, allowing for conceptual understanding rather than the superficial perception alone.
