Great Gatsby through the lens of each theory * A list of questions
for further practice to guide readers in applying each theory to
different literary works * Updated and expanded bibliographies Both
engaging and rigorous, this is a "how-to" book for undergraduate
and graduate students new to critical theory and for college

approaches to literature.
