Extremely Informative

I am currently using this book as text in one of my undergraduate college courses (Literary Criticism). Excellent selected essays, with great abstracts/introductions at the beginning of each. They give historical background, both about the author and the school from which the author comes, often a introduction to the terminology used, and a concise summary of the author's argument.
