A better introduction to literature

If you’ve used any online literature guides, you’ll know that they’re often quite surface-level. They’ll mostly give you a quick overview of the main characters and themes and explain the plot to you.

We wanted to do something different. For us, quality is more important than quantity. Our goal is to produce a select number of great literature guides that engage with each text meaningfully, which means talking about the big ideas, pursuing detailed close readings, and grappling with the text’s continued relevance for us today.
