商品簡介
This classic guide offers a thorough and accessible introduction to contemporary critical theory, providing in-depth coverage of the most common approaches to literary analysis today: feminism; psychoanalysis; Marxism; reader-response theory; New Criticism; structuralism and semiotics; deconstruction; new historical and cultural criticism; lesbian, gay, and queer theory; African American criticism; and postcolonial criticism. Chapters offer:
- an extended explanation of each theory, using examples from everyday life, popular culture, and literary texts;
- a list of specific questions critics ask about literary texts;
- an interpretation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby through the lens of each theory;
- a list of questions for further practice to guide readers in applying each theory to different literary works;
- a bibliography of primary and secondary works for further reading.
Both engaging and rigorous, this is a "how-to" book for undergraduate and graduate students new to critical theory and for college professors who want to broaden their repertoire of critical approaches to literature.
New to this edition:
- A major expansion of the chapter on postcolonial criticism;
- An update of theoretical vocabulary throughout;
- Numerous substantial expansions of examples and clarifications throughout;
- An update of each chapter's bibliographies for further reading.
