The Norton introduction to literature

Synopsis

Offering 59 stories, 458 poems, and 15 plays, this anthology provides a wider range of classic and contemporary works than any other three-genre anthology. Designed for readers not familiar with the terms of literary analysis, The Norton Introduction to Literature is both an exemplary collection of unforgettable literature and a complete reading course in a book. Three new "Critical Contexts" casebooks introduce readers to examples of professional literary criticism, and editorial commentary throughout encourages readers to read thoughtfully, analytically, and creatively.
