Description
Clare Connors' guide to literary theory is a refreshingly approachable introduction to the subject. Rather than getting bogged down in dry theory, she focuses on the real questions that emerge when we read and study literature.
This beginner's guide explores how we find meaning in texts and how literature relates to its historical context, before examining the responses of theorists. Using a range of examples, including poetry by Christina Rossetti and Annie Proulx, Connors shows how theory can be united with practice, making it an enjoyable and thought-provoking read.
With 227 pages of clear and concise explanation, this paperback edition is ideal for anyone looking to get started with literary theory or deepen their understanding of the subject.
