Other Internet Links

There is a great deal of information on literary theory on the Internet. Some sites are growing with the addition of new essays every week. Theory can be a very complicated area with many technical terms and difficult jargon. One site uses the logo K.I.S.S., which means 'keep it simple stupid.' The site by Prof. John Lye for his course in contemporary literary theory (Brock U.) is very useful with clear notes and essays explaining some of the major theories of the past 40 years. Students can explore some of the sites listed below.
