The Norton Introduction to Literature
Read More
Building on the foundation established over the last 30 years, this edition provides a broad selection of texts, including 11 new stories and poems, informative but not generally interpretive editorial work, and attention to contexts and the craft of criticism. General topics include fiction, poetry and drama with section for each on reading, responding, writing, understanding, and exploring contexts as well as biographical information on authors. Each genre includes a range of regular readings as well as a selection for supplemental reading. Chapter introductions are short and concise and the editors have provided new section questions as well as audio versions of a number of the texts read by the authors or by highly-regarded narrators. The publisher also provides a related students' web site, online resource library, and instructors' manual. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
