|  | Beyond Postmodernism: Reassessment in Literature, Theory, and Culture
Publication Date: September 22, 2003After the veritable hype concerning postmodernism in the 1980s and early 1990s, when questions about when it began, what it means and which texts it comprises were apt to trigger heated discussions, the excitement has notably cooled down at the turn of the century.
