una buena introduccion a la literatura de habla inglesa

este libro tiene ya varios años conmigo, es de los que uno lee y relee, especialmente cuando se buscan referencias o se quiere una corta resena sobre algun autor de habla inglesa. el libro esta bien disenado y no parece solamente para chicos de grado doce, . me gusta su estructura, breve resena del autor, uno o dos de sus poemas o en otro caso un fragmento de su obra o un cuento corto, seguido de preguntas destinadas a ver si se ha entendido el material. me recuerda un libro muy bueno que habia en las escuelas dominicanas, escrito por fiume gomez , que tenia un formato similar y que me agrado mucho....
