This is a new textbook designed to help new undergraduates adopt a
degree-level approach to the study of English literature in their
first or foundation year. "Studying English Literature" offers a
link between pre-degree study and undergraduate study by
introducing students to: the history of English literature from the
Renaissance to the present; the key literary genres (poetry, prose,
and drama); a range of techniques, tools and terms useful in the
analysis of literature; and, critical and theoretical approaches to
literature. It is designed to improve close critical reading skills
and evidence-based discussion; encourage reflection on texts'
themes, issues and historical contexts; and demonstrate how
criticism and literary theories enable richer and more nuanced
interpretations. This one-stop resource for beginning students
combines a historical survey of English literature with a practical
introduction to the main forms of literary writing. Case studies of
key texts offer practical demonstrations of the tools and
approaches discussed. Guided further reading and a glossary of
terms used provide further support for the student. Introducing a
wide range of literary writing, this is an indispensable guide for
any student beginning their study of English Literature, providing
the tools, techniques, approaches and terminology needed to succeed
at university.
