Literature: An Introduction to Fiction, Poetry, and Drama, Interactive Edition (with Mylitlab)

The most popular introductory anthology of its kind, Kennedy/Gioia' s "Literature" continues to inspire students with engaging insights on reading and writing about stories, poems, and plays. Poets in their own right, editors X.J. Kennedy and Dana Gioia bring personal warmth and a human perspective to this comprehensive anthology. Organized into three genres- "Literature," Tenth Edition, presents readable discussions of the literary devices, illustrated by apt works, supported by useful writing tips, and followed by (now) seven full chapters devoted to writing. A broad scope of traditional and contemporary works is provided, most headed by author images and richly detailed biographical notes and some followed by author commentary. While maintaining the characteristics of its previous editions-accessible apparatus, expansive author representation-this tenth edition of "Literature" has been re-imagined to include new casebooks, a lively new design, and more writing coverage than ever before.Gioia, Dana is the author of 'Literature: An Introduction to Fiction, Poetry, and Drama, Interactive Edition (with Mylitlab)', published 2007 under ISBN 9780205606696 and ISBN 0205606695.
