Literature

This compact edition retains all the features that have made the full edition so successful in a smaller, affordable volume: The first compact three-genre introduction to literature text to address the changing canon is now the first to include a guide for writing about literature-with handbook coverage of critical thinking, argument, and the writing process. Combining the broadest selection of literature available with time-proven and class-tested instruction, the sixth edition remains the most responsive introduction to literature text available.
