Readers will encounter a broad range of topics from Marxist and feminist criticism to postmodernism, queer studies and ecocriticism. Literary Theory: The Basics shows how literary theory and practice are connected in an always lucid and accessible style, and considers key theories and approaches including: - Humanist criticism; - Structuralist and Poststructuralist theory; - Postcolonial theory; - Posthumanism, ecocriticism, and animal studies; - Digital humanities and print culture studies. Literary theory has much to say about the wider world of humanities and beyond, and this guide helps readers to approach the many theories and debates with confidence. Expanded with updates throughout, this is the go-to guide for understanding literary theory today"-- Provided by publisher  aEng  aCriticism-history-20th century  aLiterature-history and criticism
