"For many students, literary analysis essays are a mystery. First-year students commonly want to know such things as how their essays should begin, whether they must agree with what other critics have said, and whether they should include their personal responses. A Method for Writing Essays about Literature answers such questions. It provides clarity by explaining the literary analysis essay's purpose and by guiding students through its structures, using exercises, examples of essay components, and sample essays.
The sample essays in Apendix 2 are a crucial component of the book. After completing each chapter of the book and answering some of the exercise questions, consider reviewing one of the essays and noting how it demonstrates the writing principles that the chapter explains. When you gain confidence, you should think about how the sample essays could be improved.
In literary studies, ideas matter, and there is an important connection between structure in an essay and analytical content - the essay's ideas. When you understand how to structure your essays, you will develop more effective analysis, and you will be more successful in your literary studies." (Introduction, p.viii)
