Description
A market leader for more than 30 years, Barnet's Introduction to Literature continues to uphold the traditions that have made it a success— a rich blend of both classic and contemporary selections as well as Barnet’s signature “how-to” instruction on the elements of literature and the writing process. The new edition features a wealth of contemporary stories and a new chapter on graphic novels that were chosen for their student appeal. New selections include 18 stories, 24 poems, a one-act play, Samuel Beckett’s “Krapp’s Last Tape,” and a casebook on Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman.
