Literature — James H. Pickering

Designed to introduce readers to the formal study of literature, this anthology presents a generous selection of works in fiction, poetry, and drama. Richly varied in content, it features classic and contemporary works that represent a range of voices and styles, and that reflect the cultural diversity that is characteristic of American society, with balanced representation of women and minorities. The anthology is structured to help readers develop a sharp critical appreciation of the readings and a method of analyzing literature that translates easily from text to text and to other theories and approaches. For anyone interested in literature.
