This is the most engaging introduction to literary theory available today. Its distinctive features are its clarity and its ability to explain the real significance for the reader of recently-developed theories. Specific applications to well-known novels, plays, and poems show how theory can increase the pleasure and understanding we gain from works of literature. This book shows why literary theory matters today.
The general argument of the book investigates the issue of authority, for readers, writers, and critics. We should not approach literary theory matters today.
The general argument of the book investigates the issue of authority, for readers, writers, and critics.
