The Cambridge Companion to Literary Theory

The Cambridge Companion to Literary Theory is a comprehensive guide that introduces readers to the main ideas and approaches used to analyze and interpret literature. It covers various schools of thought, such as formalism, structuralism, feminism, and postmodernism, explaining how each perspective helps us understand texts differently. The book aims to make complex theories accessible, providing context and examples so readers can see how literary criticism develops and how it can be applied to different works. It’s a useful resource for anyone interested in how literature is studied and understood from multiple angles.
