Transitions critically explores cultural movements in literary history. Guiding the reader through the poetics and politics of eras and periods, Transitions helps direct the student's own acts of critical analysis, while showing how the modern reader constructs the idea of the past through the literature and culture of a historical moment. Each book enacts transitional readings of canonical and less well-known literary texts in their cultural milieu so as to provide a fresh perspective on literary periods and to assess the reception of the literary in the present day.
