´Introduction to: Literature, Criticism and Theory´ by Andrew Bennet and Nicholas Royle is one of those rarest of books, a guide to literary theory and criticism that is both accessible, comprehensive and indispensable.

Aimed at those just starting college, sixth form, or university level education this book serves as a comprehensive and enlightening introduction to a variety of topics that cover the foundations of literary criticism and theory. Yet not only does it serve as a useful introduction tool to the subject, but it is also extremely useful as a reference resource for those already studying literature who wish to draw from the expertise of the two authors, both of whom are internationally respected scholars and critics themselves.

The book covers thirty two short chapters each of which are mini essays in their own right. The topics covered are wide ranging and will engage a reader whatever their chosen interest. Ranging from the fundamental theories of readers and how they read, to character, voice and narrative, to the complex issues of sexual difference and post modernism; this is a book that offers an introduction that is at once accessible and sophisticated.
