Critical Theory and Practice: A Coursebook (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

"Critical Theory and Practice" is a challenging yet approachable introduction to the difficulties of contemporary literary theory. Covering a vast range of key issues and debates pertinent to literary theory, this skills-enabling introduction allows the reader to approach selected literary texts newly equipped with a knowledge of the methodology and assisted by suggested questions.
The book is divided into 7 main chapters, each focused on an important contemporary issue: Language, Literary Structures, History, Subjectivity, Feminisms, Cultural Identity and Reception. Each chapter includes guiding commentary, examples from literary and critical works, and a variety of exercises to provoke and engage. In addition, the chapters each have their own glossary and annotated selection of suggested further reading to supplement the book's complete bibliography.
"Critical Theory and Practice" provokes active engagement and queries in the minds of readers, ratherthan promising sets of answers. Assuming no prior familiarity with the subject, this book is a much-needed introduction which will stimulate readers to engage with literary theory and apply it in practice.
