• Includes essays by the late Niall Lucy, a leading expert in postmodernism studies, and by other noted scholars who came together to complete and expand upon his last work
• Spans a kaleidoscope of postmodernism perspectives, addressing its lovers and haters; its movers and shakers such as Derrida; its origins in modernism and semiotics, and its outlook for the future
• Features a series of brief essays rather than fixed definitions of the key ideas and arguments
• Engaging and thought-provoking, this is at once a scholarly guide and enduring reference for the field
