I'm interested in literary theory and criticism.
What books do you guys recommend on this subject?
norton anthology of theory and criticism
>>8075819
Literature and revolution Trotsky
What does this mean?
>>8075885
it's a modification/another version of what MH abrams outlined in the mirror and the lamp, on the three main interactions with a text and how he uses it as a basis to examine how different literary theories/schools of thought treat the text, and which of these counterparties are prioritized/how they're treated in any given theory

and, in addition to >>8075830, i think this is probably one of the best intro literary crititicism/theory books one should read. or at the very least the introduction of it if not the whole thing.

The Political Unconscious, Fred Jameson
Figures I-III
Aristotle's Poetics. His book on comedy is particularly good.
