Not OP, but to go off topic a bit, can I ask what your opinion is of the textbook you just linked?

I'm not qualified to say much about its quality, really. I'm an undergrad and it's one of the textbooks we were assigned in my Analysis of Literature class along with Beginning Theory by Peter Barry who gives summaries that are a lot shorter than the Tyson book I linked but has basically the same information.

Undergrad here too, I was just confused by it because it is titled "Critical Theory," but it seems to focus on "Literary Theory." At my school, our Intro to Literary Studies course typically uses Eagleton's Introduction and Culler's VSI.
