ByPublisher Description
The essential guide to looking at literature with your own two eyes.
What students know about Shakespeare, Orwell, Dickens, and Twain is primarily what their instructors tell them.

• Ideal companion for college students and accessible for the casual reader as well.
• Covers fiction, poetry, narrative nonfiction, biographies and memoirs, essays and editorials, and newspapers, magazines, and journals.
• Features examples from published writing.
• Includes a reading list and a glossary of literary terms.
