Summary Here, one of our most astute contemporary literary critics offers a powerful analysis of the perceived demise of 'theory' and rise of 'creative writing' in literary and cultural studies. Nicholas Royle foregrounds and meddles with assumptions concerning what is conventionally thought to be'theory', 'autobiography' and 'literature'.
