The Heath Introduction to Literature

by Alice C. Landy (Editor), William Rodney Allen

At about half the length and a much lower price than comparable anthologies, this introductory anthology of short fiction, poetry, and drama is organized by genre and features chapter introductions and a bibliography of film adaptations. Readings have been chosen with an eye toward classic selections and gender balance, while allowing the book to retain the teachability and traditional emphases for which it has long been admired.

Reviews

[Lynley]

It really leaned towards more modern authors with abstract themes. Not that you shouldn't study them, but there was much less from older, perhaps more classic authors.

[Suzanne]

Ofcourse there are some stories I liked more than others, still a very enjoyable book (for a text book.)

[Ĥaŋan Musaed]

This book made me ENJOY and love literature. Great short stories were chosen, great poem, authors, plays, etc. :)
