The Literature Book [PDF] Online
A thoroughly revised and updated edition of classic
guide—a lively and entertaining introduction to literature
and literary basics, including symbols, themes and
contexts, that shows you how to make your everyday
reading experience more rewarding and enjoyable.
While many books can be enjoyed for their basic stories,
there are often deeper literary meanings interwoven in
these texts. How to Read Literature helps us to discover
those hidden truths by looking at literature with the
eyes—and the literary codes-of the ultimate professional
reader, the college professor.
Ranging from major themes to literary models, narrative
devices and form, The literature provides us with a broad
overview of literaturea world where a road leads to a
quest, a shared meal may signify a communion, and rain,
whether cleansing or destructive, is never just a shower-
and shows us how to make our reading experience more
enriching, satisfying, and fun.
This revised edition includes new chapters, a new preface
and epilogue, and incorporates updated teaching points
that Literature has developed over the past decade.
“This revised edition includes new chapters, a new
preface and epilogue, and incorporates updated teaching
points that Foster has developed over the past decade.”
The Literature Book PDF
An excellent "introduction" for those who have a
desire to understand literature on a deeper level. All
great stories are more than the stories themselves.
That is, the author is attempting to shine light on a
deeper meaning, and literature book is a supportive
lantern to carry with you down that long literary
road.
The task of literary exegesis is not an easy one,
because what one thing means to one reader, will
mean something entirely different to the next. I
question whether the composers of the negative
reviews read more than a few chapters of this
valuable book, as most of their complaints are in
regard to "bogus" interpretations. Of course, if
you've read the book, there'd be no possible way to
argue this point.
In fact, insistent encouragement to "read for you"
and his delicate approach to helping you find clues
to the larger meaning, without offering overbearing,
preachy opinion, is exactly why I loved this book so
much. While I agree with almost every one of his
interpretations, he incessantly reminds you that his
analysis is his and only his, based on years of
literary study and his knowledge of the authors
themselves.

How To Write a Literature Review
How important it would be for me in the coming years
when it arrived at my door. The literature review is
insightful and entertaining in this detailed guide to
such topics as symbolism, Christ-like characters,
figurative language, and imagery, allowing you to
reconsider every book you have ever read before this.
The indepth attention he gives to the various aspects
of hidden details within novels and poetry is ideal for
preparing a student of the IB program for the attention
they will soon be called upon to give on literature. I
now use this book as a reference when reading other
works in order to find similarities within other works
and to more greatly understand symbols and
metaphors with which I may not yet have much
experience. An all around great read. Highly
reccomended for students, or anyone that wants to
have a greater understanding of literature and its
many facets.
How to Read Literature Like a Professor
How to Read Literature Like a Professor offers an
extensive introduction to literary analysis for the
purpose of finding deeper meaning in one's everyday
reading.
Chapters are divided into relatively similar page
counts and, while each chapter explores a topic and
provides helpful examples from literary works, the
length of each chapter allows for digestion of
information in small bites.
Citing folklore, religious dogmas, and Greek
mythology, the author delicately introduces varied or
contrasting belief systems for interpretation of
literature in an unoffensive and unbiased manner.
While this book provides a thorough examination of
theme, symbols, and contexts, the author freely admits
that it is by no means a complete compilation; one
could hardly fit all elements of literary assessment, all
interpretations of symbols, or all references to
venerable lore into just one book. The writing is
consistently comprehensive and entertaining,
occasionally infused with Foster's personal quips and
moments of charming self-deprecation. His points,
whether serious or silly, are stated with eloquence.
