“Excellent. Probably the best introductory guide to literary theory I've seen.”
Ian Buchanan, Professor of Critical and Cultural Theory, Cardiff University

A study of literary theory concerned with historical application and social relevance rather than remote abstract concepts.

Rescuing the subject from dry abstractions, Clare Connors focuses on the real questions that emerge when we read and study literature – such as how we find meaning and how literature relates to its historical context – before exploring the response of theorists. Using selections from works including poetry by Christina Rossetti and Annie Proulx’s Brokeback Mountain, Connors unites theory with practice, revealing how enjoyable it is to think about reading.

“Profoundly reliable as well as inviting, playful, and inventive.”
Sarah Wood, Lecturer in English, University of Kent
