Ways in Analyzing and Responding to Literature.
Rockas, Leo
Intended as a guide for students of literature, this book introduces literary analysis through discussion of forms, elements, and genres. The first half of the book focuses on theory, with each section preceded by literary passages and interpretative questions. The second half is devoted to practice, and contains three contrasting literary genre pairs, each pair centered on a single theme, with commentary and suggestions for analysis. Chapters cover the following elements: (1) formal analysis, (2) rhetorical analysis, (3) analysis of elements, (4) analyzing fiction, (5) analyzing drama, and (6) analyzing poetry. A glossary of literary terms concludes the book. (HTH)
