Thomas C. Foster studied English at Dartmouth College and then Michigan State University. He has been a professor of literature and writing since 1975, the last twenty-one years at the University of Michigan–Flint. In that time, he's learned more about literature from his students than in all the classes he's taken over the years. He is the author of the New York Times bestselling How to Read Novels Like a Professor and How to Read Literature Like a Professor.
What does it mean when a fictional hero takes a journey?. Shares a meal? Gets drenched in a sudden rain shower? Often, there is much more going on in a novel or poem than is readily visible on the surface -- a symbol, maybe, that remains elusive, or an unexpected twist on a character -- and there's that sneaking suspicion that the deeper meaning of a literary text keeps escaping you.
In this practical and amusing guide to literature, Thomas C. Foster shows how easy and gratifying it is to unlock those hidden truths, and to discover a world where a road leads to a quest; a shared meal may signify a communion; and rain, whether cleansing or destructive, is never just rain. Ranging from major themes to literary models, narrative devices, and form, How to Read Literature Like a Professor is the perfect companion for making your reading experience more enriching, satisfying, and fun.

評分 評分 評分开始觉得废话有点多,中断阅读思路。后来这种现象有所减弱。另外我一直想知道作家们是怎样写作的(如果自己写,即使有idea,但没有任何基础技巧等,总觉得缺少底气),此书终于让我有所了解。 书中条条框框、思维定势太多(例如:“没淹死,就是受洗成功”,拜托,肯定有其他可...
評分阅读是一种乐趣,平铺在纸面上的文字,一经过你的阅读,却活跃为一个场景、一个人物、一种声音,这个由静到动的过程,你体验到的就是这么一种乐趣。 文学作品中,作者安排了角色和情结,让读者跟着他的文字,按照他预设的构想,一步一步把我们引入他所创造的奇妙世界里。我们跟...
