A Comprehensive Guide to Literary Analysis and Theory provides an accessible introduction to all the current approaches to literary analysis.

Ranging from stylistics and historicism to post-humanism and new materialism, it also includes chapters on media studies and screen studies.

The Guide is designed for use in introductory literature courses and as a primer in theory courses.

Each chapter summarizes the main ideas of each approach to the study of literature in clear prose, providing lucid introductions to the practice of each school, and conducts readings using classic and modern works of literature from around the world.

The book draws on examples from a wide range of works, from classics such as F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby and Shakespeare's King Lear to contemporary works such as Ocean Vuong's On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous and Amanda Gorman's The Hill We Climb.

This wide-ranging introduction is ideal for students encountering literary study for the first time, as well as more advanced students who need a concise summary of critical methods.

It strives to make complex ideas simple and provides readings that undergraduates should be able to understand and enjoy as well as training them to conduct analyses of their own.
