Critical Theory: A Reader for Literary and Cultural Studies, (Paperback)

Critical theory has the potential to infl uence our thinking about literature and about

everything that literature connects to and parallels, which is to say about almost anything

at all. The materials in this book can propel us into new ways of understanding how we

already read and propel us as well into new ways of reading-of reading novels, poems,

movies, plays, the culture around us, ourselves, and each other.
