Synopsis

As an introductory guide to the study of literary theory, this book links theoretical concepts to more traditional terms so that the areas discussed are not wholly alien or unfamiliar. Its aim is to broaden the reader's view of literature, and to encourage a more enquiring and questioning relationship to the literary text: it challenges some of the dominant critical orthodoxies, but without adopting a prescriptive approach.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Like its previous edition, this book provides an accessible introductory guide to some of the most important aspects of literary theory, linking them to more tarditional terms and approaches. In doing so, it offers a fuller introduction to a wider range of literary theories, including post-structuralism, post-modernism, New Historicism, post-colonial theory, and theories of sexual identity. Additional theories are revised and extended in this edition with additional illustrative material.

Revue de presse

The explanations are lucid, helpfully contrasting the various theories. --Choice (of the first edition)
