Fairly decent general intro book

Booker's _Introduction to Lit Theory and Criticism_ is a nice beginner text. It gives thorough overviews of major critical movements. This DOES NOT give you actual critical articles. It is an INTRODUCTION ONLY. The major theorectical movements of the 20th century are explained in detail. Overall, a very solid work.
