About this title

Synopsis

Writing about World Literature, a new guide created to accompany the Norton Anthology, covers the processes and particulars of writing in the world literature survey course. Starting with the essential question, “What is Academic Writing,” the guide takes students step-by-step through the writing process – from generating ideas to researching to revising. It includes an entire chapter on the different types of writing about world literature – including textual and contextual analyses.
