Literary theory for beginners

Klages, Mary2017
Book
Have you heard the terms 'structuralism' and 'deconstruction' and 'postmodernism' but aren't really sure what they mean? Have you taken a whole course on literary criticism, but are still feeling lost? Here's the book you need to sort it all out - and enjoy doing so! In 'Literary Theory for Beginners', Mary Klages takes you into her classroom, cuts through the jargon and explains the ABCs (and the DEFs as well) in terms you can get your head around. Her breadth of knowledge, her unique skills as a teacher and the delightful illustrations of Frank Reynoso help us understand why literature matters, how it affects us and how it reflects history, culture and diversity.
