Like its predecessor, this second of edition of Writing About the Humanities is designed for students in introductory humanities courses, but it can be used by students in introductory literature and art history courses as well. The book's opening chapters provide overviews of and approaches to the writing process generally and to writing about the humanities, illustrated with examples from various humanities disciplines. The two concluding chapters deal with writing based on research. In between, five chapters explore and explain how to write about particular humanities disciplines, including art and architecture, music, fiction and poetry, drama and theater, and film. An appendix on writing essay examinations concludes the book.
This second edition of Writing About the Humanities is an expansion of the first, with-new material added to some chapters, others split off and enlarged, and a new chapter on writing about film. Among the book's distinctive and practical features are the following:
For assistance with Writing About the Humanities I would like to thank the reviewers, who provided valuable suggestions, which I have utilized in this revision.
Thanks also to Bud Therien at Prentice Hall for sponsoring the book, and to Kimberly Chastain and Sarah Touborg, who have lent it their expertise and support. Finally, a word of thanks to my children, Karen and Michael, who provided sample papers on literature and art, respectively, and a note of appreciation to my wife, Mary, for her unfailing devotion and steadfast love.
