"Culler has accomplished a much-needed task with exemplary clarity and liveliness. Part 1, on linguistics, has useful though highly condensed accounts of de Saussure, Levi-Strauss, Jakobson, and Greimas. In Part 2 the work comes into its own. Culler's tightly organized, persuasive systematization of structuralist principles should make the approach not only acceptable but attractive to Anglo-American students of literature." — Library Journal
