A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Literature for Composition offers the finest writing and argument coverage, helpful discussions of the literary elements, compelling case studies, and a diverse array of selections.

This book is based on the assumption that students in composition or literature courses should encounter first-rate writing―not simply competent prose, but the powerful reports of experience that have been recorded by highly skilled writers past and present. The study of such writing offers pleasure and insight into life. It also leads to increased skill in communicating.

Literature for Composition opens with five chapters devoted to reading, writing, and argument. An entire chapter on critical thinking equips students with a foundation upon which to study the chapters on the literary forms that follow. Two complete chapters cover argument, interpretation, and evaluation. An anthology organized around six engaging themes allows instructors to structure their classes with great flexibility. Special chapters on visuals and film along with ten case studies offer additional resources.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

One of the first anthologies designed specifically for writing courses, Literature for Composition continues to offer superior coverage of reading, writing, and arguing about literature and a deep anthology of readings presented in Sylvan Barnet’s signature accessible style.  Literature for Composition opens with several chapters that provide uniquely helpful strategies and models for reading, thinking, and writing critically about literature.  The first text to link argument and literature, the eighth edition provides earlier discussions of arguing about literature as part of the writing process.  A diverse anthology of selections is organized around seven engaging themes, and nine compelling case studies help launch research projects.  The text's 200 images, a 4-color insert, and special chapters on visual literacy and literature on film add another appealing dimension to the study of literature.
