Table Of Contents
by Robert DiYanni
Literature: Reading Fiction, Poetry, and Drama features student-centered approaches to literature -- from experience to interpretation to evaluation -- and an emphasis on making connections between texts and thinking critically about literature.
Known for its clear presentation of the formal elements of literature and literary analysis, this anthology effectively balances classic, modern, and contemporary works across the three major genres, blending well-known writers with a diverse gathering of newer, international figures. This literary breadth is supplemented by extensive coverage of writing about literature, making this book an excellent text for introduction to literature courses as well as literature-based composition courses.
ARIEL: A Reader's Interactive Exploration of American Literature (ARIEL American) CD–ROM: This integrated multimedia resource enriches students' experience of American literature with casebooks on 28 American writers, video, music, readings of poems and stories, dozens of images, illustrated timelines, interactive exercises, and more! In the anthology, boxes indicate where more material is found on the CD–ROM.

Emphasis on Critical Thinking: The sixth edition features an expanded emphasis on thinking critically about literature and information on arguing about literature.

The critical thinking component is reinforced in Questions for Critical Thinking and Writing that appear throughout the text, for works in every genre.

Chapter 29: Envisioning Drama shows students with reproductions and photographs how Glass Menagerie and Death of a Salesman went from sketches to staged performances. Chapter 16: Envisioning Poetry places poems and paintings side-by-side so students can compare how words interact with images. Chapter 7: Envisioning Narrative shows students how graphic novelists use narration in illustrated stories.
Unique!!! New Chapter on Literary Nonfiction: A new chapter on literary nonfiction asks students to compare the similarities of important autobiographical nonfiction with the fiction elsewhere in Part 1: Fiction. Chapter 6: Literary Nonfiction includes work by such exciting contemporary authors as Rick Bragg, Judith Ortiz Cofer, Mary Karr, Chang-Rae Lee, James McBride, and Zadie Smith.
Writers in Context: Nine writers are feature in context: Poe, O'Connor, and Cisneros in fiction; Dickinson, Frost, and Hughes in poetry; and Sophocles, Shakespeare, and Ibsen in drama. These writers are presented in their full social and historical context. Their expansive entries include introductions to their lives and work, documentary photos and timelines, a rich selection of primary works, letters and other writings, and critical commentary.
