In this second edition of 'Beginning Theory', Peter Barry lucidly and expertly unravels and explains the variety of approaches, theorists, and technical language, allowing readers to develop their own ideas once first principles are grasped. Expanded and updated from the original edition published in 1995, Peter Barry has incorporated all the recent developments in literary theory, adding two new chapters covering the emergent Eco-criticism and the re-emerging Narratology. This book is an essential introduction to literary and cultural theory, ideal for students and anyone interested in understanding the key concepts and influential figures in this field.
