Description
As an introductory guide to the study of literary theory, this book links theoretical concepts to more traditional terms so that the areas discussed are not wholly alien or unfamiliar. Its aim is to broaden the reader's view of literature, and to encourage a more enquiring and questioning relationship to the literary text: it challenges some of the dominant critical orthodoxies, but without adopting a prescriptive approach.
