I've asked before what is the cutting-edge of Literary Theory right now, and generally the attitude seems to be that Literary Theory as a movement isn't current any more and reached a degree of end.
In which case, what did Literary Theory conclude? Literary Theory's aim was to understand the nature of literature, no? If it's at an end then it must have reached something of an answer right?
I'm working my way through it and so far I'm in the middle of a big sprawling mass that I'm having trouble condensing. I want to in some ways master literary theory so that I can use it as a tool when writing, so I'm properly informed about the nature of what I'm writing.
Does anybody else here feel they're more or less in that position? Or am I fundamentally misunderstanding the whole nature of the study?
