Explaining both why theory is important and how to use it, Lois
Tyson introduces beginning students of literature to this often
daunting field in a friendly and readable style. The new edition of
this textbook is clearly structured with chapters based on major
theories frequently covered both in courses on literature and on
critical theory. Key features include: * coverage of major theories
including reader-response theory, New Criticism (formalism),
psychoanalysis, Marxism, feminism, lesbian/gay/queer theories,
African American theory, and postcolonial theory * practical
demonstrations of how to use these theories to interpret short
literary works selected from canonical authors including William
Faulkner and Alice Walker * a chapter on reader-response theory
that shows students how to use their personal responses to
literature while avoiding typical pitfalls * sections on cultural
criticism for each chapter that use our selected theories to
interpret productions of popular culture This new edition also
includes updated and expanded theoretical vocabulary, as well as
"basic concepts" and "further study" sections, and an expanded
"next-step" appendix that suggests additional literary works for
extra practice. Comprehensive, easy to use, and fully updated
throughout, Using Critical Theory is the ideal first step for
students beginning degrees in literature, composition, and cultural
studies.
