Books like The Pooh Perplex by Frederick C. Crews


Frederick C. Crews' "The Pooh Perplex" parodyously critiques the inflated egos of 1960s literary scholars, including Freudians, Aristotelians, and New Critics. Using the format of a freshman English casebook, the book offers twelve essays voiced in different critical styles, complete with exaggerated footnotes, mock study questions, and humorous biographical sketches of the satirical contributors. A new preface by Crews contrasts literary theory of the era with contemporary approaches and identifies the real critics parodied in the text.
First publish date: 1963
