 Abstract   

The aim of this study is to present an overview of the promising literary theory after poststructualism. This paper mentions the return to literary studies of such categories as subjectivity (an author), evaluation and textual meaning. This article deals with polemics against deconstruction, feminism, new historicism shading some light on the tension between institutional frames of contemporary literary theory and the intellectual interest in nonconformist investigations into literature. The author argues that it is currently possible to combine the tradition of philology with the cutting edge literary research.
