I am struggling with Tom Eagleton's introduction to literary theory book I don't know... Maybe I am very dumb but the book is quite a hard read. I very much so appreciate the text but it's quite dense. My question is: are there any other easier reads which do not sacrifice too much of the comprehensiveness of Tom Eagleton's work but may be easier for a child to read. I am quite determined to get into literary theory but it is quite hard :(.
