This book is the ideal guide to the practice, providing a methodology that can be used for poetry, novels, drama, and beyond.

- What is close reading?
- What is the importance of the relationships between words?
- How can close reading enhance reading pleasure?
- Is there a method of close reading that works for all literary genres?
