The Modern Study Of Literature: An Introduction To Literary Theory And Interpretation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781430442332)

The Modern Study of Literature: An Introduction to Literary Theory and Interpretation by Richard Green Moulton is a comprehensive guide to understanding the complex world of literary theory and interpretation. The book provides an in-depth exploration of the major theoretical approaches to literary analysis, including structuralism, post-structuralism, deconstruction, psychoanalytic criticism, feminist criticism, and cultural studies. Moulton's work also delves into the history of literary theory, tracing its development from the ancient Greeks to the present day. He examines the ways in which literary theory has been shaped by social, political, and cultural forces, and how it has influenced the way we read and interpret literature. The book is divided into three main parts. Part one provides an overview of literary theory and its major approaches, while part two explores the various ways in which literary texts can be analyzed and interpreted. Part three focuses on the practical application of literary theory, providing examples of how different theoretical approaches can be used to analyze specific literary works. Overall, The Modern Study of Literature is an essential resource for anyone studying literature, literary theory, or cultural studies. It provides a clear and accessible introduction to the key concepts and ideas in the field, and offers practical guidance on how to apply these concepts to the analysis of literary texts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
