    Tintinnabulation of Literary Theory

    Traversing Genres to Contemporary Experience

    There can never be literary growth in the contemporary world which
    is devoid of literary criticism, this is the backbone of literary
    theory. Literature is no longer a mere narration of stories, and prudent
    literary writers know that great literature is based on theoretical
    frameworks which give their works an edge in the intellectual world. In
    this book, Tintinnabulation of Literary Theory: Traversing Genres to Contemporary Experience,
    Andrew Nyongesa demonstrates how five theoretical frameworks, namely:
    Marxism, Feminism, Postcolonialism, Psychoanalysis and Stylistic are
    applied to genres of literature. The last chapter shows how theory has
    moved away from the lecture hall to real life experience. The book is a
    practical guide to university students and tutors of literature in their
    undying desire to embrace Literary Criticism.
