Product Description
Product Description
Literary Terms and Criticism has long been established as the best-selling guide to the study of English literature. It offers a comprehensive introduction to English poetry, drama and the novel, complete with practical advice and tips on how to analyse texts and how to make sense of the critical terms we employ in discussing literature. It is also the clearest and most useful of all guides to modern critical theory. There are entries on all aspects of critical thinking, ranging from traditional criticism through to postcolonialism and cultural materialism. This new edition also contains updated material, a revised further reading list and additional discussion of critical terms and approaches. In so doing, it remains the indispensable guide - providing you with the vital starting-point for whatever text you are studying, and giving you ideas you can draw on throughout your course.

The Greatest Book Ever Written?,
By Nordelius (Bristol, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Literary Terms and Criticism (Palgrave Key Concepts) (Paperback)
Essential for any undergraduate student of english literature! I had the second edition throughout my degree and used it near-constantly. What this book does is to take complicated theoretical terms and explain them simply and without recourse to academic arcana. It is by no means the only book you will ever need, but is an excellent starting point to the stormy seas of lit. theory and criticism.

Essential reading for all English Lit. students,
By A Customer
This review is from: Literary Terms and Criticism (How to Study Literature) (Paperback)
I found this book to be invaluable through my A-level course and further on, through my degree. It is equally good to use as a dictionary style reference book, or a general revision of literary criticism terms. It is excellently written, with examples from literature and poetry, to aid your understanding in a more thorough manner.
