Books by Raman Selden

An anthology of extracts of literary criticism and theory designed to aid readers' understanding of the subject. This survey of critical theory shows both the continuities and discontinuities from Plato up to the present through comparisons and contrasts across the field of critical history.

Provides an accessible introduction to the study of contemporary literary theories and their applications to a range of literary texts. This is an elementary introduction where the emphasis is on practice, and in this respect it complements A Reader's Guide to Contemporary Literary Theory.
