Texts and Contexts: Writing About Literature with Critical Theory provides an accessible introduction to contemporary critical theories―from new criticism to cultural studies―as part of the practice of writing about literature. An ideal supplement to any literature anthology, this text works in composition courses that introduce literature to freshman as well as in upper-level theory courses. Providing a wealth of writing strategies, the text explains the assumptions underlying the various critical theories, and then takes the students through the process of employing these methods to enrich their engagements with literature. This 3rd Edition includes a new Chapter 1, “An Introduction, Theoretically” as well as updated coverage of research and the Internet.

From the Back Cover
This book helps students analyze and write about literature through the introduction of contemporary critical theories. Step-by-step applications of a particular theory give clear, practical examples of what other texts only cover in the abstract. A wealth of writing strategies, examples, and practice materials enable students to understand the assumptions underlying these theories.
WHAT YOU’LL FIND IN THIS EDITION
- A stronger focus on evaluating and using Internet sources, as well as electronic databases, with an emphasis on ethics and strategies for avoiding plagiarism.
- Innovatively addresses critical theories by discussing the assumptions of an approach, showing how those assumptions drive a reading and providing practice for students.
- New coverage of cultural criticism and post-colonial criticism.
- Expanded examples and practice tests.
