Items related to Literary Appreciation: A Practical Guide
Synopsis
The new edition of Literary Appreciation retains all the features of the enormously popular first edition. However, the 'Introduction' has been thoroughly revised to bring it up to date with the latest examination requirements, particularly the inclusion of oral literature. New demonstration passages of unseen prose and poetry have also been added. The new edition contains:
An introductory section in which the author summarises, with practical examples, the theory and criteria of literary criticism: Special attention is paid to the requirements of students to whom English is a foreign or second language.
15 demonstration passages of prose and poetry followed by the author's comments on their quality and an explanation of the means by which it may be assessed.
32 passages of prose and poetry suitable for class discussion or individual practice.
The demonstration and practice passages are drawn from a wide range of literature, including not only the work of African authors from West, East and Southern Africa but also examples of oral literature.
A glossary of technical terms.
Literary Appreciation: a practical guide remains the ideal textbook for all students preparing for examinations at senior secondary level and above which require the interpretation of unseen passages of prose and poetry.
