Before Memmo my notes were scattered across PDFs. Now a workspace pulls everything into one place — I see exactly what's still left to study.
Explaining both why critical theory is important and how to use it, Lois Tyson introduces new students of literature to this often-daunting field in a friendly and readable style. The new edition of this textbook is clearly structured, with chapters based on major theories commonly covered in courses on literature and on critical theory.
Key features include:
• coverage of major theories including reader-response theory, New Criticism (formalism), psychoanalysis, Marxism, feminism, lesbian/gay/queer theories, African American theory, and postcolonial theory;
• practical demonstrations of how to use these theories to interpret short literary works selected from canonical authors including William Faulkner and Alice Walker;
• a chapter on reader-response theory that shows students how to use their personal responses to literature while avoiding typical pitfalls;
• sections on cultural criticism in each chapter that use our selected theories to interpret productions of popular culture; and
• sections on environmental issues (ecocriticism) in the introductory and closing chapters as well as in the chapters on psychoanalysis, Marxism, feminism, lesbian/gay/queer theories, African American theory, and postcolonial theory.
This new edition also includes updated and expanded theoretical vocabulary, basic concepts, and suggestions for further study as well as an expanded next-steps appendix that suggests additional literary works for extra practice. Comprehensive, easy to use, and fully updated throughout, Using Critical Theory is the ideal starting point for students beginning degrees in literature, composition, and cultural studies.

Memmo's summaries are gold before exams. I don't have to re-read 800 pages two weeks before — just the important parts.
The AI chat has saved me the night before an exam more than once. I just keep asking until I get it — no waiting on a study group to reply.
The quizzes hit exactly what I need to know. Memmo tracks what I get stuck on — so I only practice what's worth it.
Flashcards with spaced repetition are magic. Memmo knows when I'm about to forget something and brings it back.
The AI podcasts are my favorite. I listen on my way to school and get a recap without sitting at a computer.
