Studying Literary Theory: An Introduction

Description

Like its previous edition, this book provides an accessible introductory guide to some of the most important aspects of literary theory, linking them to more tarditional terms and approaches. In doing so, it offers a fuller introduction to a wider range of literary theories, including post-structuralism, post-modernism, New Historicism, post-colonial theory, and theories of sexual identity. Additional theories are revised and extended in this edition with additional illustrative material.
