Studying Literary Theory: An Introduction / Edition 2

by Roger Webster

Overview

This new second edition builds on the previous edition in several ways. Like its predecessor, it provides an accessible introductory guide to some of the most important aspects of literary theory, linking them to more traditional terms and approaches to ensure that the areas discussed are not wholly unfamiliar territory. In doing so, it offers a fuller introduction to a wider range of literary theories, including post-structuralism, postmodernism, New Historicism, post-colonial theory, and theories of sexual identity.
