This book presents the key critical concepts in literary studies today, avoiding the jargonistic, abstract nature of much `theory'. The authors explore crucial issues in contemporary criticism and theory by focusing closely on a range of texts, from Chaucer to Achebe and from Milton to Morrison.

In the world of literary theory this book stands out. It gives you concept of every theoretical aspect differently. It debunks the conventional approach and introduces every chapter in a completely different manner. Brilliant book. I love this book very much. Thank you amazon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for English Majors
Reviewed in the United States on 1 February 2011

For anyone majoring in English, or who has a vested interest in literature, this book is an excellent choice. It inspires critical thinking by providing complex examples. This is NOT a one-dimensional or boring textbook! If you're looking for a way to get more involved in literature, but aren't interested in reading a boring, run of the mill textbook, I highly suggest Bennett & Royle's book. Watch out though, because it will definitely wrinkle your brain.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bennett and Royle for university
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 June 2012
Verified Purchase
I just finished my first year at university on an English Literature course and because of Bennett and Royle's book I not only got to understand complex theories made understandable, but the breath of the content allowed me to open up my own ideas and arguments within my work.

This book both allows you to understand and apply theory and helps you become a critic yourself, creating an individual and origin response.

Thoroughly recommended.

I used this book as an introduction to literary theory at university. It's easy to read and my copy was frequently used. As with any book of this nature, don't take it as gospel, but it is a great introduction to theory.
