I had the immense pleasure of reading this text when I was in college, and it changed the way that I read literature as well as how and why I write. I would highly suggest this book to any serious literary scholars!

Quotes Natalie Liked

“...by embracing literary theory, we learn about literature, but more important we are also taught tolerance for other people's beliefs. By rejecting or ignoring theory, we are in danger of canonizing ourselves as literary saints who possess divine knowledge and who can, therefore, supply the one and only correct interpretation for a given text.”
Charles E. Bressler, Literary Criticism: An Introduction to Theory and Practice

“All writers misspeak, revealing not what they thought they said, but almost what they were afraid to say.”
Charles E. Bressler, Literary Criticism: An Introduction to Theory and Practice
