Description: How to Interpret Literature presents a concise yet wide-ranging historicist survey of contemporary thinking in critical theory. Ideal for courses in literary and critical theory, this is the only book that thoroughly merges literary and cultural studies, including film. Parker weaves connections among chapters, showing how different ways of thinking respond to and build on each other. The revised and expanded third edition includes many updates, extensive revision inevery chapter, and new discussions of ecocriticism and disability studies.
Synopsis: Offering a refreshing combination of accessibility and intellectual rigor, How to Interpret Literature: Critical Theory for Literary and Cultural Studies, Third Edition, presents an up-to-date, concise, and wide-ranging historicist survey of contemporary thinking in critical theory. The only book of its kind that thoroughly merges literary studies with cultural studies, this text provides a critical look at the major movements in literary studies since the 1930s, including those often omitted from other texts. It is also the only up-to-date survey of literary theory that devotes extensive treatment to Queer Theory and Postcolonial and Race Studies. How to Interpret Literature is ideal as a stand-alone text or in conjunction with an anthology of primary readings such as Robert Dale Parker's Critical Theory: A Reader for Literary and Cultural Studies. Distinctive Features * A conversational and engaging tone that speaks directly to today's students * Wider coverage than any book of its kind * A rich assortment of pedagogical features (charts, text boxes, photos, and suggestions for further reading)
