How to Interpret Literature: Critical Theory for Literary and Cultural Studies
"A must-read for anyone teaching or seeking to understand literary theory." --Christopher Hogarth, Wagner College"Robert Dale Parker's examples--personal, literary, cultural, and historical--vivify in often sprightly and unapologetically blunt language what could otherwise be a 'long, hard slog' through extremely intimidating material. His own pedagogical adventures and experiences in teaching literary theory and criticism provide an unexpectedly fresh narrative and contextual perspective." --Tiffany Gilbert, University of North Carolina, Wilmington
