"From the first edition on, I have chosen this Handbook over all the other 'writing about literature' texts in competition with it because of the editors' basic methodology of explaining the theory, then following through with models of each theory applied to a cross section of literary genres (with Frankenstein, now including popular culture and film). Each audience finds your text to be so helpful and accessible that the most common response is 'I wish I had known about this sooner!'"--Alan S.

Reseña del editor:
A Handbook of Critical Approaches to Literature, Fifth Edition offers readers and students a variety of ways of looking at a piece of literature. Appropriate for courses in Literary Criticism or Theory, as well as in freshman/sophomore level Introduction to Literature courses, this text serves as a comprehensive guide to the major critical approaches to literature. Using classic works such as "To His Coy Mistress," Hamlet, Huckleberry Finn, "Young Goodman Brown," "Everyday Use," and (new to this edition) Frankenstein as tools to introduce students to various critical theories, this book demonstrates how different approaches to an array of readings enrich the total response to and understanding of the individual work.
