This anthology provides broad coverage for the three genres of literature?fiction, poetry, and drama?and exceptionally clear presentation of the elements of literature. The text has a clear and up-to-date chapter on critical theory that features helpful checklists. It also features Robert DiYanni?s well-known three-part pedagogy that presents each of the three genres in light of a reader?s experience, interpretation, and evaluation. The compact edition includes full coverage of writing about literature with 2 student papers in each chapter, incorporates a beautifully illustrated poetry section with four-color art, author biographies, and in-depth cverage of 8 writers: D.H. Lawrence, Flannery O'Connor, Sandra Cisneros, Emily Dickenson, Robert Frost, Langston Hughes, Sophocles (containing both Oedipus and Antigone), and Shakespeare (containing both Hamlet ant Othello).

Fast and Timely

The book arrived in great condition and in a very timely manner. I would purchase from this seller in the future.

Explanation of Literature at it's Finest

DiYanni gives excellent explanation and great examples of poems, plays, and short stories in his book. I actually bought this book for a Lit. class and I knew I would hate the class and the book when I saw how 'big' the boook was. Turns out I loved them both; and DiYanni in my opinion is an excellent author. This book is a great read for pleasure as well as study.

Oops

I bought this book instead of buying the 2nd edition. I figured it would be exactly the same. It isn't. It has a lot of the same stories but some are missing, like "The Lottery." Luckily it's a book of short stories, so the stories that are missing you can get online. The price is worth the work. It's half the price of the new book. A paper back book is not worth 58 dollars. Buy this look up the other stories.

Plus it's easy to navigate.

Thick book, Thin pages.

The product is very useful and actually was cheaper to buy new from Amazon that it was to purchase used from any of the available venues. The only complaint I would have about the book is the onion-paper thinness of the pages. The pages are almost transparent and this makes it very hard if not impossible to highlight.
