Chargement... Practical Introduction to Literary Theory and Criticismpar Keith M. Booker
   Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.  Adrian_Astur_Alvarez | Dec 3, 2019 |   However, Prof. Booker leaves much to be desired, and I still don't exactly understand why the second part ("Introduction to the Application of Literary Theory," where he goes through and treats specific works with a touch of the previously introduced literary strategies) even exists. I would have liked to read more seminal essays within each theory, which would mean shrinking part two into brief introductions and expanding the third part of the book. Although I did like the way he was able to keep straight some of the potentially tortuous psychoanalytic concepts of Lacan, there are more sophisticated surveys available. All in all, if you've never read lit theory, I'd recommend the introduction and the opening chapters as a useful handbook to supplement your interests. The essays in the back are great, but only relevant if you happen to be studying that particular text and/or working in that literary strategy for the first time.
