Front Cover
Routledge, 1992 - Books and reading - 257 pages
Over the last two decades significant debates have taken place concerning the nature and purpose of English studies. There is a growing need for materials which can help translate the emerging theoretical and analytic insights into practical methods of study. Ways of Reading offers a compendium of critical and analytic strategies to enrich the activity of reading across a range of different genres and periods, and on texts both literary and non-literary. It moves from smaller features of texts, such as rhyme, to larger features, such as story structure, from poetry to prose, and from text to context. Combining theoretical and practical questions, it helps students of English in higher education to develop an awareness of reading as a broader process.
