Description

What is this thing called literature? Why study it? And how?

Relating literature to topics such as dreams, politics, life, death, the ordinary and the uncanny, This Thing Called Literature establishes a sense of why and how literature is an exciting and rewarding subject to study. Andrew Bennett and Nicholas Royle expertly weave an essential love of literature into an account of what literary texts do, how they work and the sort of questions and ideas they provoke.

The book窶冱 three parts reflect the fundamental components of studying literature: reading, thinking and writing. The authors use helpful and wide-ranging examples and summaries, offering rich reflections on the question 窶聾hat is literature?窶� and on what they term 窶歪reative reading窶�. The new edition has been revised throughout with extensive updates to the further reading and a new chapter on creative non-fiction.

Bennett and Royle窶冱 accessible and thought-provoking style encourages a deep engagement with literary texts. This essential guide to the study of literature is an eloquent celebration of the value and pleasure of reading.
