It is designed for students at the undergraduate level or for others needing a broad synthesis of the long history of literary theory. An introductory chapter provides an overview of some of the major issues within literary theory and criticism; further chapters survey theory and criticism in antiquity, the Middle Ages and Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and the nineteenth century. For twentieth- and twenty-first-century theory, the discussion is subdivided into separate chapters on formalist, historicist, political, and psychoanalytic approaches.\nThe final chapter applies a variety of theoretical concepts and approaches to two famous works of literature: William Shakespeare’s Hamlet and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadview Press Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45119240667189,"sku":"ByrdShop_1554812372","price":27.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781554812370_cf093e6d-1ca8-414f-876f-4258a4534d26.jpg?v=1778848601","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/literary-theory-and-criticism-an-introduction-9781554812370","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
