Recensioner i media

Praise for the first edition:'Ways of Reading is a valuable and immensely usable book ... More than fills a major gap.' – Literature & Language'This is a clear and incisive introduction to main issues in the critical study of literature.' - Robin Jarvis, University of the West of England, UKPraise for the third edition:'...ground-breaking... The academic underpinning is just where it should be, in the background, allowing prominence for the much more important idea that looking at reading in new ways gives new insights and new pleasures... This is an ideal book for teachers of English at all levels... Third editions can sometimes seem to be marginally altered versions of the previous editions. It is certainly not the case here. Do read this superb book.' - Adrian Beard, NATE
