### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Well written overview of key lit./crit. theories
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2022*

This text, in its 4th Ed.,  remains a highly readable and engaging overview of major critical theories to date that are commonly used in literary analysis. Additionally, Barry provides a bibliography for each chapter and a good index as well. This text would be an affordable and welcome accompaniment for an undergrad  literature course incorporating literary theory into its discourse.

    What Happend to Literary Criticism While I was Making Other Plans
  

*by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2021*

I received an MA in English and a JD in the 1970s. Since my retirement, I have been trying to find out what happened while I was busy outside academe. This textbook, written by a British professor for undergraduate students majoring in English, describes exactly how Theory has transformed a discipline once concerned primarily with aesthetics has become (in my words) a subspeciality of political science. I did not get much out of  a literary criticism course in graduate school in 1973. Although the author is my contemporaty, I wish I had had a teacher as lucid as Peter Barry.
