Literature in English: How and Why is an accessible guide for
students. It deals with the fundamental concepts of literary form
and genre; the history of English-language literature from the
medieval period to the present; relations between the study of
literature and other disciplines; literary theory; researching a
topic; and writing a paper. This new edition contains a brand new
chapter which takes literary theory to another level, using it to
link literature to the issues that concern us most, whether in our
own lives or in the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. The book
has also been fully updated throughout, with significant additions
to the introduction and further reading sections. Overall,
Literature in English: * Grounds the study of literature throughout
by referencing a selection of well-known novels, plays and poems *
Examines the central questions that readers ask when confronting
literary texts, and shows how these make literary theory meaningful
and necessary * Links British, American and postcolonial literature
into a coherent whole * Discusses film as literature and provides
the basic conceptual tools needed to study film within a
literature-course framework * Places particular emphasis on
interdisciplinarity by examining the connections between the study
of literature and other disciplines * Links literary theory to
current global challenges, placing special emphasis on new and
evolving approaches such as ecocriticism, new materialism and the
spatial turn * Provides extensive guidance on further reading.
Written in a clear and engaging style, this is an essential guide
for literature students around the world.
