- Summary:
-
This book is intended as a general introduction to literary study, with the single purpose of 'making literature accessible'. It seeks to take up the difficulties most often encountered by the student, and deals with the habits commonly involved in misreading or 'avoiding' the text, and with the usefulness and limitation of such concepts as theme, genre, tone and character study. While separate approahces are offered to poetry, the novel and drama, the discussion works through specific examples and keeps the emphasis on 'how to read' througout.
