Organized around key critical concepts rather than around schools of criticism, this book is designed as an introduction to the fundamental concepts of literary theory and literary criticism. Each chapter begins by asking fundamental questions about a concept, explaining why such questions are important and relevant for discussions of literary texts, and then goes on to discuss the concept in greater detail with references and text examples
