Publisher Comments:

Aimed at AS, A2 and undergraduate students, A Beginner's Guide to Critical Reading brings literature to life by combining a rich selection of literary texts with original and lively commentary. Unlike so many introductions to literary studies, it demonstrates how criticism and theory can enhance your own enjoyment and appreciation of literature.

Synopsis:

These selections of literary texts are accompanied by commentaries designed to help the student contextualize their own responses. The book highlights key issues, from textual editing to the politics of gender and includes advice for those wishing to read more about a particular issue or approach.

Synopsis:

The combination of fascinating texts, critically up-to-the minute readings and Richard Jacob's engaging, lively approach makes this a book every fan or student of literature should own. Jacobs has assembled an invaluable collection of literary texts and provides accompanying commentaries designed to help you contextualize your own responses.

This Introductory work brings together interesting texts and engaging commentary. In his commentaries, Richard Jacobs explains some of the most crucial issues in literary studies today; includes advice for those wishing to read more about a particular issue or critical approach; and reveals, through his obvious enjoyment of the texts he discusses, that literary studies can be pleasurable and energizing for everyone.
