How to Read Literature |
Duty-reading I thought when given this book. Totally wrong! This is non-stop delight. Renowned critic Eagelton's analysis of plot, character, narrative etc. is full not only of eye-opening insights but extremely funny. On individualism: nothing and nobody has nothing in common with others: the Great Wall of China and heart-break, for example, share an inability to peel a banana. And his critical interpretation of Baa Baa Black Sheep left me helpless with laughter. A must! (Annabel Bedini - bwl 73 Summer 2014) |
