While researching information for this website I located several excellent sources that would be helpful to any college student. These works contain information about criticism, analysis, interpretation, and critical theory.
References
A Handbook to Literature, by William Harmon and C. Hugh Holman, contains excellent definitions of what criticism and analytic criticism are.
St. Martin’s Handbook, by Andrea Lunsford and Robert Connors gives a detailed description of how to write a good critical analysis of a text.
Text Book by Robert Scholes, Nancy R. Comley, and Gregory L. Ulmers’ is a great source for checking out how to interpret a text.
Texts and Contexts by Steven Lynn gives detailed descriptions of what different literary theories are and how they can be applied. Each one of these works was very useful to supplying information for the content of my report.

I had a lot of help and insight offered to me during the creation process of this website, and would like to thank those that helped me. If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions you can contact me at kstevens22000@yahoo.com.
Dr. Elizabeth Preston,
my English 160 professor, first taught me how to analyze a text and about
literary theory. Her class gave me the confidence to be able to attempt to
relay this information to others. She also loaned me books about literary
theory that I used for background research for this
website.
Dr. Dennis G. Jerz,
my technical writing professor and advisor, aided me in organizing this
project and getting it off of the ground.
Dr. Stacy Thompson, my English 285 literary theory professor, broadened my background in literary theory.
