Helpful Theory

This earlier edition is much better than the later one, because it has truly canonic essays that are really necessary for an introductory theory course. The psychoanalysis section was particularly helpful, with essays by Lacan, Jerry Aline Flieger, Peter Brooks, and others. Highly recommended. If you are teaching, get this edition rather than the later ones, which are more idiosyncratic in their selections.
