Publisher Description: Ranging from traditional approaches to the most contemporary perspectives, such as feminist and gender studies, cultural studies, and postcolonial studies, A Handbook of Critical Approaches to Literature offers readers a variety of clearly articulated approaches to interpreting literature. This thoroughly updated sixth edition applies these diverse approaches to the same six classic works--To His Coy Mistress, Young Goodman Brown, Everyday Use, Hamlet, Huckleberry Finn, and Frankenstein--in a way proven to elicit student analysis by enriching their response to and understanding of the individual works and critical theory. (Andrew Marvell's poem To His Coy Mistress, Nathaniel Hawthorne's story Young Goodman Brown, and Alice Walker's story Everyday Use are included in full within this volume.) |
