Rescuing the subject from dry abstractions, Clare Connors focuses on the real questions that emerge when we read and study literature – such as how we find meaning and how literature relates to its historical context – before exploring the response of theorists.
Using selections from works including poetry by Christina Rossetti and Annie Proulx’s Brokeback Mountain, Connors unites theory with practice, revealing how enjoyable it is to think about reading.
Clare Connors is a lecturer in English at the University of Oxford. She has taught at a number of the university’s colleges and its Department of Continuing Education, and has written extensively on literary theory and literary theorists.
Kelly Birch was born in Kent, England, where she performed leading roles in such plays as A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Salad Days. Since moving to America, Kelly has continued her acting but is principally a molecular epidemiologist in Berkeley, California. She is the voice of Alcatel-Lucent Technologies (the European equivalent of Telstra), and tens of millions of customers hear her on their mobile phone menus.
