Synopsis

The most original and creative literature textbook I have ever seen. I am most impressed by the promise of meeting students needs in their struggle to move from summarizing to discussing style and technique. The tone is quite down-to-earth and engaging. I believe students will appreciate that. Step by step instructions are by far the best rubric I have ever seen for writing a critical essay,brilliant, succinct, essential, and clear. The selections in this section are extremely well chosen for college freshmen. I believe these selections will capture their interest, expand their vocabulary and jump-start their imagination. A brilliant, innovative work that truly makes a textual apparatus an all-in-one pedagogical asset. The text s focus on writing as a discovery tool is its greatest quality, followed by the diversity and quantity of readings. I have never seen this level of instructional specificity in an introductory text before.
