Wiley-Blackwell, 2004
Good Introduction to Literary Theory
+ This One Plus the Norton Will Cover All Your Theory Needs
I found Rivkin's anthology to be comprehensive in terms of the variety of schools of thought covered. I bought it for a class, and my single complaint about the book and the class is the same: I feel that I'm not getting a full and comprehensive understanding of each individual theorist's work. ...
