The Literary Theory Handbook introduces students
to the history and scope of literary theory, showing them how to
perform literary analysis, and providing a greater understanding of
the historical contexts for different theories.
* A new edition of this highly successful text, which includes
updated and refined chapters, and new sections on contemporary
theories
* Far reaching in its inclusion of a detailed history of theory
and in-depth discussions of major theories and movements
* Four distinct perspectives on theory–historical,
thematic, biographical, practical–are carefully intertwined,
so that key concepts, terms and ideas are developed in different
contexts and cross-referenced, in the text and in the index.
* Includes alphabetically-arranged biographies designed for quick
reference, and sample readings to illustrate the practical
application of theory
