Continuum's Guides for the Perplexed are clear, concise and
accessible introductions to thinkers, writers and subjects that
students and readers can find especially challenging. Concentrating
specifically on what it is that makes the subject difficult to
fathom, these books explain and explore key themes and ideas,
guiding the reader towards a thorough understanding of demanding
material. This Guide 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; postmodernism. The final
chapter points to new directions in literary and cultural theory.
