9780333676080: Thinking About Texts

Synopsis

This introductory textbook is based on the premise that students are often baffled by their first encounters with contemporary literary theory. It simultaneously develops advanced skills in reading texts, and the ability to think in sophisticated ways about the conditions and concepts which surround and define interpretation in English Studies. Designed to bridge the gap between the ability to read texts and the ability to deploy critical theory, the book expands understanding of five key issues, using diverse textual examples, interactive exercises and discussion of possible answers and their consequences.
