ABSTRACT
Since its launch in 1987, Textual Practice has established itself as Britain's leading journal of radical literary theory.
`You cannot ignore Textual Practice. Its international cast of contributors, well-known and new, engages today's theoretical and practical debates from the roots of modernity into post-modernism, from the politics of sexual preference, to the future of the Left, from literature to activism, with the lines crossing and recrossing.' - Gayatri Spivak, Professor of English and Comparative Literature, Columbia University
