Contemporary Literary Criticism

This new edition published just three years since the first, rethinks the presentation of critical and theoretical texts. 27 of the 36 articles are new and the editors have structured the book so that the connections and relationship between various writers and ideas are clear to the student reader. The book can be used as a textbook on literary criticism and theory courses because it guides students with introductions to each chapter and author, cross-references and bibliographies. It is applicable across the whole of an English literature, film or drama degree course.
