How Texts Work:

• explores the ways in which we categorize texts
• reveals the limitations of some of the polarisations we use to categorize texts
• analyzes a wide variety of texts from a range of genres and periods, from Ibsen's A Doll's House to an 18-30s brochure, Internet chatrooms and George Bush's September 11 speech
• offers a step-by-step guide to approaching texts and structuring a response
• can be used as both a course stimulus and a revision tool.
