METHODS OF TEXTUAL ANALYSIS IN LITERARY STUDIES...

Why a handbook on methods? Choosing and using methods wisely is one of the key prerequisites
for textual analysis and the interpretation of literary works. Despite the importance and
indispensability of methods  there are only few books and articles that provide an introduction
to methods of literary analysis. The three concepts in the subtitle - approaches  basics  and
model interpretations - indicate the content of the chapters in this volume. This handbook
presents a broad range of current approaches for analyzing and interpreting literary texts
(such as hermeneutics  gender and queer studies  postcolonial criticism  close and wide reading
the new historicism  cognitive poetics)  delineating and explaining their respective methods.
The chapters include model interpretations of selected British and American literary texts in
order to provide paradigm examples of how to turn the theoretical approaches and their
preferred methods into actual practice of textual analysis.
