Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studying English Literature is a unique guide for undergraduates beginning to study the discipline of literature and those who are thinking of doing so. Unlike books that provide a survey of literary history or non-subject specific manuals that offer rigid guidelines on how to write essays, Studying English Literature invites students to engage with the subject's history and theory whilst at the same time offering information about reading, researching and writing about literature within the context of a university. The book is practical yet not patronizing: for example, whilst the discussion of plagiarism provides clear guidelines on how not to commit this offence, it also considers the difficulties students experience finding their own 'voice' when writing and provokes reflection on the value of originality and the concepts of adaptation, appropriation and intertextuality in literature. Above all, the book prizes the idea of argument rather than insisting upon formulaic essay plans, and gives many ways of finding something to say as you read and when you write, in chapters on Reading, Argument, Essays, Sentences and References.

Book excerpt: In just one day ... In the backyard of the bride’s Southern California home, a group of family, friends and strangers come together to celebrate the wedding of two people in love, but each brings with them conflicts they can’t leave behind. The bride’s brother Ian brings upheaval as he shakes off responsibility. Kristy, the photographer, is overwhelmed by her anxiety. The whole foundation of Leah’s life has been destroyed, distracting her from her critical job as wedding coordinator. Amber, the maid of honor, fights to keep a smile on her face as her loneliness crushes her. Dylan, the waiter, tries to balance two warring demands on him. The groom’s grandfather, Marshall, is looking forward to the day with his family. And Sophie, the flower girl, seeks the attention she never gets from her mom. As the wedding day progresses, each must reconcile their expectations of the day with the new reality. All set in one day, No Day Like Today explores how just the tiniest gesture can make a difference and how one single day can change everything.

This book compresses the matter from these lectures, along with a good deal of additional information, to provide a compact and handy guide that should prove extremely useful to new students of literature as well as veterans in the subject. Comprising ways and methods to study various genres such as poetry, prose fiction, drama, essay and short story, it covers every facet of literature. It also analyses the task of critiquing literature to bring out the necessity of studying the subject. A must - read for all literature aficionados.
