Bogen knytter sig oprindeligt til en TV-serie,derfor det snævre 10-tal, der omfatter: Dostojevski, Ibsen, Conrad, Mann, Proust, Joyce, Eliot, Pirandello, Woolf og Kafka. Dertil kommer Pound, der stikker frem i flere kapitler. Af udvalget sesdet, hvor omfattende modernitets-begrebet eller definitionen anvendes af Bradbury. Det hører til bogens fortrin, at den ud over at give portrætter af de udvalgte forfatterskaber (der kunne jomageligt tilføjes andre 10 eller 10 1/2) også giver en introduktion til periodens litteratur og viser udviklingslinier, ligesom Bradbury i de enkelte portræt-essays tegner et netværk afforbindelseslinier imellem de portrætterede - og får reddet en del af de manglende ind i sammenhængen. De enkelte portrætter er ganske fortr

Fresh, original and compelling, "An Introduction to Literature, Criticism and Theory "is the essential guide to literary studies. Starting at 'the beginning' and concluding with 'the end', the book covers topics that range from the familiar (character, narrative, the author) to the more unusual (secrets, pleasure, ghosts). Eschewing abstract "isms," Bennett and Royle successfully illuminate complex ideas by engaging directly with literary works - so that a reading of "Jane Eyre" opens up ways of thinking about racial difference, whilst Chaucer, Raymond Chandler and Monty Python are all invoked in a discussion of literary laughter. Each chapter ends with a narrative guide to further reading and the book also includes a glossary and bibliography.

I en kort indledning defineres romanen som genre – og dens krise anskues som følge af at den opstod som medium for den borgerlige ideologi, men nu kritiserer og helt eller delvis søger at bryde med traditionen. De ni behandlede arbejder søger på forskellig vis at løse problemet om at videreføre eller opløse romanformen... uden at tilintetgøre romanen. Type: Paperback

This book presents an introduction to stylistics for students of literature. It does not presuppose linguistic knowledge, but it approaches literature in a linguistic way. In the first half it looks at the make-up of a sentence in English and how sentence elements are exploited by literary authors. In the second half it looks at the way in which a text is unified by elements beyond the sentence. The conclusion exemplifies the theory explained in the previous chapters.
