This "Guide for the Perplexed" provides an advanced introduction to
literary theory from basic information and orientation for the
uninformed leading on to more sophisticated readings. It engages
directly with the difficulty many students find intimidating,
asking 'What is "Literary Theory"?' and offering a clear, concise,
accessible guide to the major theories and theorists, including:
humanism; structuralism; poststructuralism; psychoanalytic
approaches; feminist approaches; queer theory; ideology and
discourse; new historicism; race and postcolonialism; and
postmodernism. The final chapter points to new directions in
literary and cultural theory.
