Empowering Readers: Ten Approaches to Narrative

Capa
Wakefield Press, 2003 - 146 páginas
This book offers ten approaches to reading narrative based on literary theories that have succeeded and competed with each other since the 1950s. Each chapter covers a reading of a major narrative text from the international canon in terms of one selected approach, and suggestions how that text (usually a novel) can also be interpreted by employing others: theory in practice, with the emphasis on practice. Empowering Readers gives an overview of theoretical and critical schools from New Criticism to Postmodernism as well as a fresh, insightful reading of important texts which are on a large number of reading lists.
