Studying English Literature is a unique guide for undergraduates
beginning to study the discipline of literature and those who are
thinking of doing so. Unlike books that provide a survey of
literary history or non-subject specific manuals that offer rigid
guidelines on how to write essays, Studying English Literature
invites students to engage with the subject"s history and theory
whilst at the same time offering information about reading,
researching and writing about literature within the context of a
university. The book is practical yet not patronizing: for example,
whilst the discussion of plagiarism provides clear guidelines on
how not to commit this offence, it also considers the difficulties
students experience finding their own "voice" when writing and
provokes reflection on the value of originality and the concepts of
adaptation, appropriation and intertextuality in literature. Above
all, the book prizes the idea of argument rather than insisting
upon formulaic essay plans, and gives many ways of finding
something to say as you read and when you write, in chapters on
Reading, Argument, Essays, Sentences and References.
