Suitable for academic and general readers alike,How to Read Textsaffords us with the attendant tools and historical background for unlocking and appreciating the rich texts that mark our lives.
How to Read Textswill encourage both students - and, as importantly, their teachers - to re-think the very basics of reading and analysing texts.
With a solid set of appendixes and an index,How to Read Textsis enthusiastically recommended for those facing a tough pile of books in their future.
