introductory lectures on the course of interpretation (lectures —24 hrs; 
seminars —32 hrs; practicals in "Analytical Reading"—46 hrs). 
Moreover the above-mentioned Aid is also intended for Final-year 
students working on their own under the guidance of a tutor. And finally 
it can also be used at refsher courses for lectures— 16 hrs, seminars— 
16 hrs as-well as for writing course papers, diplomas and postgraduate 
entrance essays. Besides that it provides beginners with a summary of 
the theoretical introduction written in a compact and comprehensible 
manner. 
The authors have made every effort to illustrate theoretical 
principles by the texts already familiar to students through such aspects 
of language study as analytical and home reading, as well as the course 
in history of foreign literature. 
The chief purpose of the book is to supply students with a manual 
for seminars on interpretation. The second part of the book introduces 
the reader to the methods and ways of interpretation and offers a scheme 
of analysis to facilitate the execution of the task. It is recommended to 
start seminars with "samples" which provide literary texts, followed by 
detailed 
commentaries, 
explicating 
subcurrent

the help of the index. 
After reading some samples, the students can pass over to the 4th
