Download or read book A Guide to Literary Criticism and Research written by Bonnie Klomp Stevens and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt P. This book was released on 1996 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like the first two editions of A Guide to Literary Criticism and Research, this edition is based both on a recognition of a practical need felt in many literature courses and a view of literary study. It attempts to meet the practical need by offering upper-level students a condensed but adequate guide to the range of modern criticism and to basic methods of research. In addition, it is a hope that the book will give students a more comprehensive view of literary study by helping them to recognize criticism and research as two closely linked parts of a single process.
