520			_aWhy has Anglo-American culture for so long regarded “theory” with intense suspicion? In this important contribution to the history of critical theory, David Simpson argues that a nationalist myth underlies contemporary attacks on theory. Theory’s antagonists, Simpson shows, invoke the same criteria of common sense and national solidarity as did the British intellectuals who rebelled against “theory” and “method” during the French Revolution.
