The impact of theory on literary studies at universities has changed the face of the discipline over the past two decades. Inherently interdisciplinary, theory has broadened the context in which literature is now discussed and extended the range of competencies and pedagogic skills the tertiary teacher is called upon to master. In many departments it has created a conceptual generation gap between traditionalists and scholars more at home with theory, which can impact adversely on students' education. Yet it has also created opportunities for exciting curriculum and pedagogic innovation.
