The Heath Introduction to Literature

by Alice S. Landy

Book Overview

At about half the length and a much lower price than comparable anthologies, this introductory anthology of short fiction, poetry, and drama is organized by genre and features chapter introductions and a bibliography of film adaptations. Readings have been chosen with an eye toward classic selections and gender balance, while allowing the book to retain the teachability and traditional emphases for which it has long been admired.

This book was in the condition it said it would be and I received it promptly. I was very happy with the service and would recommend this seller.

My Old Community College Textbook

This is the textbook we used for my community college course in 1984. Unfortunately, this was the most advanced course I've ever taken in literature. It is amusing to review what poets and writers are included in this book and what poets and writers I consider important now. I have clearly not followed the prescribed course of study. However, this explains why I have six books by Denise Levertov. I was misguided. The questions that follow every poem, story, and play are vastly amusing and I think I can answer some of them now.
