Description
This book presents the key critical concepts in literary studies today, avoiding the jargonistic, abstract nature of much 'theory'. The authors explore crucial issues in contemporary criticism and theory by focusing closely on a range of texts, from Chaucer to Achebe and from Milton to Morrison.
