About The Book

Literary Theory: Textual Application provides a critical and thorough presentation of contemporary theoretical perspectives on the different literary texts. It demonstrates how literary texts can be read from different theoretical approaches to develop skills at practicing literary theory. The book is aimed at developing the critical competence of the students by providing a sound grounding in literary theory and how it can be used in their writings. It contains critical essays built on Marxism, Feminism, Psychoanalysis, New Historicism, Deconstruction, Eco-Criticism and Postcolonialism in assonance with applications in literary texts. The anthology will introduce to the students the mechanics of reading literary/cultural texts using critical tools. It promises to, what it does, develop the inquisitiveness of the scholars and students to expand their horizon of critical aptitude. The study of literature through literary theory erases every type of prejudiced view of life. The acquaintance with the theoretical critical perspectives contained in the book hopes to anchor readers’ depth of study.
