Literary Analysis: The Basics is an insightful introduction to
analysing a wide range of literary forms. Providing a clear outline
of the methodologies employed in twenty-first century literary
analysis, it introduces readers to the genres, canons, terms,
issues, critical approaches, and contexts that affect the analysis
of any text. It addresses such questions as: What counts as
literature? Is analysis a dissection? How do gender, race, class
and culture affect the meaning of a text? Why is the social and
historical context of a text important? Can digital media be
analysed in the same way as a poem? With examples from ancient
myths to young adult fiction, a glossary of key terms, and
suggestions for further reading, Literary Analysis: The Basics is
essential reading for anyone wishing to improve their analytical
reading skills.
