Guide to the basics of literary analysis - plus short storiesMany adult students have spent most of their lives reading fiction in the form of stories and novels. However, when it comes to making a formal academic study of literature - especially at undergraduate level - it's hard to find the right words in which to express your understanding of a text. That's why this book was written.
Studying Fiction is an introduction to the basic concepts and the technical terms you will need when making a study of prose fiction. It shows you how to apply the elements of literary analysis by explaining them one at a time, and then showing them at work in a series of short stories which are reproduced as part of the book. The materials are carefully graded, so that you start from simpler literary concepts, then work gradually towards more complex issues.
