The authors of the works included in the section of Reference Material are owed the greatest debt: I frequently compared my opinions with theirs and checked for general agreement on factual details. On the personal level I have greatly appreciated discussions with Kim Chan Young, well read in the field, and Kim Duk Yung, a sociologist. I have also consulted students for their opinions on the usefulness and accessibility of available books on literary theory. Finally I would like to record here the seminal influenceon my own thinking about literature of my ‘Doktorvater’, Dr. Hans Popper, one of that rare breed, which I allude to in my introduction, who made me think seriously about the nature of literature long before it became fashionable to speak of‘literary theory.’  \nContents  \n1.
