Every student of literature needs to understand how to use
literary theory to analyze and interpret the text. In Literary
Theories William Baker and Julian Wolfreys challenge the outdated
notion that theory is something separable from the act of reading
itself. Maintaining that the best way to learn is through practical
application, the editors have assembled a volume of essays that
plunges the student into the midst of a range of critical
readings.
Each essay in the book explores a previously unpublished short
story by Richard Jeffries, also included in the volume, from a
different theoretical perspective, thereby presenting students with
New Historicist, Marxist, feminist, structuralist, post-
structuralist, psychoanalytic, and Derridean methods of analysis
and interpretation.
Cogently argued and lucidly written, these essays offer the
student reader an interactive introduction to the ways in which
contemporary literary theories challenge us to rethink the acts of
reading, writing, and interpretation.
