Literary Essaysselected reading
This is a list of books which offer short, readable essays on literary topics. The essays may encompass elements of 'theory', but they are mainly rooted in an appreciation of particular texts and authors. They are rather 'traditional' by the standards of literary criticism in the 1990s - but for that very reason, you should find them more easily approachable.
