Studying English Literature offers an appealing and distinctive combination of uncompromising sophistication and patient attention to fundamentals. Young pays careful attention to plagiarism, sentence structure, the nature of argument, and much else. This is a book that provides essential information and guidance for the classroom: it's both inspiring and enabling."

- Steven Lynn, University of South Carolina



"An ideal course-book and companion. Full of practical tools and fresh insights, this is a book that not only shows how to read, research and write about English literature, it also explores why. Much more than a 'study skills' manual, it encourages a genuinely historical and theoretical grasp of the subject."

-Rob Pope, Oxford Brookes University



"I've nothing but praise for this book: it's clear, well-structured, intelligent and most welcome in that it is subject specific and speaks to the UK university system. This surpasses all current introductory guides to studying English Literature."

-Matthew Woodcock, University of East Anglia
