Lively, original and highly readable, An Introduction to
Literature, Criticism and Theory is the essential guide to literary
studies. Starting at 'The Beginning' and concluding with 'The End',
chapters range from the familiar, such as 'Character', 'Narrative'
and 'The Author', to the more unusual, such as 'Secrets',
'Pleasure' and 'Ghosts'. Now in its sixth edition, Bennett and
Royle's classic textbook successfully illuminates complex ideas by
engaging directly with literary works, so that a reading of Jane
Eyre opens up ways of thinking about racial difference, for
example, while Chaucer, Raymond Chandler and Monty Python are all
invoked in a discussion of literature and laughter. The sixth
edition has been revised and updated throughout. In addition, four
new chapters - 'Literature', 'Loss', 'Human' and 'Migrant' - engage
with exciting recent developments in literary studies. As well as
fully up-to-date further reading sections at the end of each
chapter, the book contains a comprehensive bibliography and an
invaluable glossary of key literary terms. A breath of fresh air in
a field that can often seem dry and dauntingly theoretical, this
book will open the reader's eyes to the exhilarating possibilities
of reading and studying literature.
