What is Literary Theory? Is there a relationship between literature and culture? In fact, what is Literature, and does it matter?

It offers insights into theories about the nature of language and meaning, whether literature is a form of self-expression or a method of appeal to an audience, and outlines the ideas behind a number of different schools: deconstruction, semiotics, postcolonial theory, and structuralism amongst them.
