Overview

The purpose of Contexts for Criticism is to help readers discover the fundamental issues of literary interpretation. The text includes three complete works: Keats’s "Ode on a Grecian Urn," Melville's Benito Cereno, and Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s The Yellow Wallpaper.
These texts--plus Shakespeare's The Tempest--are examined through seven fundamental critical theories: Historical (Author as Context and Culture as Context), Formal, Reader-Response, Mimetic, Intertextual, and Poststructural.
