Description
With the strengths and weaknesses of the traditional anthologies of literature in mind, we set out to write Literature: Reading, Reacting, Writing. Over twenty years of teaching has given us a good sense of what our students deserve and what our field demands. We wanted to include a significant number of established favorites, and the already "approved readings." Includes chapters about: Fiction, Poetry, Drama - understanding, reading and writing about it.
