      Um, what? Literary theory is a field of literature, it's not a point of view. How is it postmodernist? Furthermore, please define "postmodernism".

      No, it isn't. It is a set of theories by which to analyse literature. They are postmodern & include feminism, postcolonial theory, critical race theory, Marxist theory, post-structuralism and queer theory.

      1. Yes, it is. You just described different points of view, in a field. 2. Can you describe why it's wrong to look at literary works through different lenses? 3. Would you consider Oscar Wilde a postmodernist? 4. Your assertion that EngLit is dominated by these is based on...?

      1) Its a field of criticism, not of literature. 2) Postmodernism is awful. Ppl can use it if they want. I'd like to be able not to. 3) No. He died long before PoMo! 4) You doubt that literary theory is the way literature is studied in universities? Look at reading lists.

      1) Sorry, my bad. 2) Yes, sure, feel free to reject it. I don't embrace it either. No reason to shame-censor it out of schools. 3) But he shared their views, in the same way the Gracchi brothers were socialist. 4) Can you provide some reading lists, or some place to find them in?

      I'm not free to reject it. I tried to twice and I would have failed if I had continued. Oscar Wilde did not share postmodern views at all. I have now linked the encyclopaedia of philosophy's explanation of literary theory.

      1. I will not doubt your personal experience, just its systematic nature. 2. He seems VERY similar... "Art for art's sake" is pretty postmodernist. 3. Yes, thank you.

      Check out @HdxAcademy for systematic nature. No, that is modernist.

      I disagree. While it decadency(?) influenced modernism, it is substantially different. How can a rational system based on reason be compared with aestheticist views?

      Modernism wasn't about a rational system. https://books.google.co.uk/books/about/Decadence_and_the_Making_of_Modernism.html?id=WOb26cxGBfMC …

      Postmodernism rejected modernism which was an intellectual and artistic movement which came from the earlier aesthetic movement.
