Abstract

Introduction to Literary Texts: Poetry, Prose, and Drama offers university students an accessible and practical introduction to the study of literature. Structured around the three major literary genres, the book presents their distinctive features, historical development, forms, techniques, and cultural significance. Combining theoretical explanations with selected literary texts, workshops, analytical questions, quizzes, and creative writing activities, it enables students to explore imagery, symbolism, narrative structure, characterization, dialogue, and other essential literary devices. The progressive organization of the lessons helps learners move confidently from basic definitions to close textual analysis and personal interpretation. Primarily designed for Algerian university students studying English and literature, this textbook bridges the gap between literary theory and classroom practice. It encourages active reading, critical thinking, discussion, and creativity while developing the vocabulary and analytical skills required for a deeper appreciation of poetry, prose, and drama.
