What makes a work of literature good or bad? How freely can the reader interpret it? Could a nursery rhyme like Baa Baa Black Sheep be full of concealed loathing, resentment and aggression? In this accessible, delightfully entertaining book, Terry Eagleton addresses these intriguing questions and a host of others. How to Read Literature is the book of choice for students new to the study of literature and for all other readers interested in deepening their understanding and enriching their reading experience. In a series of brilliant analyses, Eagleton shows how to read with due attention to tone, rhythm, texture, syntax, allusion, ambiguity, and other formal aspects of literary works. He also examines broader questions of character, plot, narrative, the creative imagination, the meaning of fictionality, and the tension between what works of literature say and what they show. Unfailingly authoritative and cheerfully opinionated, the author provides useful commentaries on classicism, Romanticism, modernism and postmodernism along with spellbinding insights into a huge range of authors, from Shakespeare and Jane Austen to Samuel Beckett and J. K. Rowling.

读后感

作者的《二十世纪西方文学理论》看的我头都炸了，太学术了。这本就比较亲民，阅读感受很好。只是有点太亲民了，有些地方显得有点嘴碎。特别值得一提的是这本书翻译的非常好。 全书五章：开头、人物、叙事、解读和价值。前四章让我收获很大。尤其是开头和解读这两章，让我对如何...  

书名叫“阅读指南”但并不是好像很火的那本《如何阅读一本书》的风格，从内容上来看的话，会更像托马斯. 福斯特的《如何阅读一本小说》与《如何阅读一本文学书》。 这本书主要分为“开头”“人物”“叙事”“解读”“价值”五章，每章论述一些相关问题。伊格尔顿从第一句话开始...

刚刚拿到这本书的时候，一翻就翻到从小耳熟能详的句子，什么工人阶级，社会压迫，又什么变革的，就搁下了。不过，隔了几天，又翻了几页，发现老头儿慷慨地拿出两页半的篇幅，讨论一般文学史家不屑一顾的《哈利· 波特》，作为资深哈迷，顿时缴了械。再翻翻，发现精彩的段落还真...  

用户评价

一把年纪了还这么毒舌

作者围绕 openings, character, narrative, interpretation, value 写了五篇短文，风格较随意，不时拿特朗普之类的人开涮。不过，想了解这些概念，申丹老师的 叙事、文体与潜文本，似乎更值得推荐。

伊格尔顿太有意思了，毒舌而风趣。本书很适合文学入门，举的例子都很大众，感觉好于《Aspects of Novel》。Opening部分意料之中地提了Austen，意料之外地没提《双城记》和《局外人》。Value部分很《二十世纪西方文学理论》。

真的是在玩文字游戏啊，逻辑推理，哲学的辩证法都用上了，文论批评家的思想真是绕的弯子太多了
