"What makes a work of literature good or bad? How freely can the reader interpret
it? Could a nursery rhyme like Baa Baa Black Sheep be full of concealed loathing,
resentment and aggression?In this accessible and delightfully entertaining book, Terry
Eagleton addresses these intriguing questions and a host of others. How to Read Literature
is the book of choice for students new to the study of literature and for all other
readers interested in deepening their understanding and enriching their reading experience.
In a series of brilliant analyses, Eagleton shows how to read with due attention to
tone, rhythm, texture, syntax, allusion, ambiguity and other formal aspects of literary
works. He also examines broader questions of character, plot, narrative, the creative
imagination, the meaning of fictionality, and the tension between what works of literature
say and what they show. Unfailingly authoritative and cheerfully opinionated, the
author provides useful commentaries on Classicism, Romanticism, Modernism and Postmodernism
alongside spellbinding insights into a huge range of authors, from Shakespeare and
Jane Austen to Samuel Beckett and J.K. Rowling."--Book jacket
