- Summary:
- The Power of Genre was first published in 1986. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions. The Power of Genre is a radical and systematic rethinking of the relationship between literary genre and critical explanation. Adene Rosmarin shows how traditional theories of genre-whether called ""historical,"" ""intrinsic,"" or ""theoretical""-are necessarily undone by their attempts to define genre representationally.
