9780333676080: Thinking About Texts: An Introduction to English Studies

Synopsis

Thinking About Texts is an introductory textbook 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 that 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, inter-active exercises and lucid discussion of possible answers--and their consequences.
