PREFACE

The book is intended for classroom and independent work of advanced students of English. It concentrates on the elements of a literary work that are essential for analytical reading and have not been covered in the courses of Stylistics and Lexicology.

The book aims at teaching the students the skills of fiction interpretation. Its theoretical part provides brief information on Analytical Reading subject matter and its most important aspects to give the students a general orientation in the subject and to develop their awareness of the role a definite element plays in a literary work. Its practical part contains a wide set of tasks intended to facilitate the development of interpretation skills. The practical part consists of six units, whose exercises are designed to treat different phenomena of analytical reading separately and to show the students how they function within a literary work. From unit to unit the exercises grow in volume and difficulty to shape, develop and strengthen the students’ skills.
