Award-Winning Literary Theory Tutors

Ever since the first human developed the means to write, other humans have taken it upon themselves to debate what that writing actually meant. The roots of modern literary theory go back to the time of the ancient Greeks and are bound closely with the philosophical ideas developed by such minds as Aristotle and Plato. Those foundations have splintered off into countless theories and modes of criticism that can seem overwhelming to make sense of without a bit of guidance. If you want to more fully understand the theories behind some of your favorite literature, then Varsity Tutors can help you find a qualified literary theory tutor.

Literary theory tutoring can cover many branches of criticism, of which a few examples include:

• Marxist theory
• Queer theory
• Post-structuralism
• Postmodernism
• Postcolonialism

Modern-day literary theory is as much tied up in political ideas as it is in philosophy. Many modern branches teem with undercurrents reflected in the worldviews of those who subscribe to them. From Feminist theory to Gender theory to Critical race theory, they all have a place at the table of literary criticism. Navigating the intricacies of each branch can be challenging. Literary theory tutoring can allow you the chance to have a highly-skilled professional explain the subtle nuances that make New Historicism different than Russian Formalism.
