It is an extremely informative guide to several major critical theories. It includes clear explanations of each theory and provides relevant examples of how each can be applied. Very useful guide for any English Major or any reader who likes to delve deep into a literary work. It can also enhance one's ability to offer a critical examination of a book for those who enjoy writing reviews.  exlibrismcp | Aug 5, 2008 |  Breaks down the different analyzation styles.
