The academic study of fiction has grown steadily but the published critical material is widely dispersed and often inaccessible. This book seeks to collate such material to provide both a source book and an introductory textbook of literary criticism. The first section of the book introduces students to the basic theories and methodological issues involved in studying popular fiction and addresses the problem of how to read a popular text by using the tools of literary analysis, to which students already have access. The second part provides a series of readings from critics' writings on popular fiction. The final section applies the principles of the theories to a variety of case studies from popular genres.
