Literature: Reading and Writing with Critical Strategies

by Steven Lynn

Steven Lynn's ground—breaking Reading and Writing with Critical Strategies energizes literary study by demonstrating, step by step, how to use critical approaches to engage literary texts and evolve critical arguments. Plentiful examples demonstrate the process of thinking and writing about literature—progressing from a blank page to an insightful response and, ultimately, to a final essay —using a variety of critical theories as invention strategies. A richly diverse selection of classical and contemporary works —short stories, poems, and plays — is included.

This class was a hellish nightmare, but this book saw me through. It is the only reason I understood any of the critical strategies we learned. Which just goes to show that an excellent book really does outweight a terrible teacher.
