A thoroughly Revised and updated Edition of Thomas C.
This Revised Edition includes new chapters, a new preface and epilogue, and incorporates updated teaching points that Foster has developed over the past decade..
Foster 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.
What does it mean when a literary hero is traveling along a dusty road? When he hands a drink to his companion? When he's drenched in a sudden rain shower? Ranging from major themes to literary models, narrative devices and form, Thomas C.
How to Read Literature Like a Professor 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.
While many books can be enjoyed for their basic stories, there are often deeper literary meanings interwoven in these texts.
Foster's 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.
