Beginning Theory by Peter Barry
An Introduction to Literary and Cultural Theory
An accessible guide to literary and cultural theory that surveys major movements—structuralism, post-structuralism, deconstruction, Marxism, feminism, psychoanalysis, reader-response, new historicism, postcolonialism, queer theory, ecocriticism, and more—explaining their key concepts, historical contexts, and leading thinkers. With clear examples, checklists, and suggestions for further reading, it shows beginners how to apply these approaches to close textual analysis while noting each method’s strengths and limitations.
