[Skrivena stranica]

Presents "key concepts" truly well.

[percy]

detailed, concise, easy to understand, tied historical context to readings of texts well, managed to help me make some sense of deconstruction

[Jessica]

A very helpful book that presents context and key themes clearly, referring to a wide range of texts. I didn't go through all the sections on critical theory, but I expect it's as good as the rest of the book.

[Dr Paul]

Highly informative
