Literary Criticism In The Philippines And Other Essays by Edilberto K. TIempo

Edilberto K. Timepo, well-grounded on critical theory from past to present, still swears by the need for a truly responsible, perceptive reader, who is able to see the object as it is, as intended by the author, with the text itself as authentic site of meaning. He firmly believes in the unity and wholeness and stability of the text which recently has been relegated to the periphery of critical concern. All literature scholars, students, and enthusiasts must read this book ti regain their faith and interest in literature and in literature's own old autonomous standards. Tiempo brings a vital re-freshing to today's getting to be turgid and heavy air of literary theorizing. It is also certainly necessary reading for those who know nothing of aesthetics yet feel free to mount attacks against the "tradition." -Ophelia A. Dimalanta
