How to Read Texts introduces key critical approaches to literary texts and offers a practical introduction for students developing their own critical and close-reading skills. Written in a jargon-free style, it explains critical concepts, approaches and ideas that includes debates around critical theory; the role of history and context; the links between creativity and criticism; and the relationship between author, reader and text. Chapters include Beginning from where you are-finding your critical voice; The creative critic; and Unveiling the self-conscious critic.
