Great Introduction to a Difficult Subject

I initially encountered Teaching the Postmodern when I was a nineteen-year-old undergraduate first struggling to grasp the nuances of Derrida, Foucault, and Lacan. I picked it out at random from the library and studied it carefully. Postmodern concepts are difficult to understand, but Marshall's presentation makes them accessible without dumbing them down. Now, as a professor of literature myself, this is the book that I recommend to people as an introduction to literary theory and analysis.
