Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Like its larger counterpart, the compact Literature: Approaches to Fiction, Poetry, and Drama by Robert DiYanni 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 compact 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..

It's a very good book. It has totally enlightened me on the various types of literature that exists. I had to purchase this book for my English Composition III Course at College but it was well worth the purchase.

I still have not received this book. My class started on the 29th of AUG, i am in Iraq, and i still do not have a book for class. My wife had to buy it from another location and she scans copies and sends them to me. I looked into requesting a refund, but there were no procedures to follow for 'Not delivered".

The product is very useful and actually was cheaper to buy new from Amazon that it was to purchase used from any of the available venues. The only complaint I would have about the book is the onion-paper thinness of the pages. The pages are almost transparent and this makes it very hard if not impossible to highlight.

DiYanni gives excellent explanation and great examples of poems, plays, and short stories in his book. I actually bought this book for a Lit. class and I knew I would hate the class and the book when I saw how 'big' the boook was. Turns out I loved them both; and DiYanni in my opinion is an excellent author. This book is a great read for pleasure as well as study.

I bought this book instead of buying the 2nd edition. I figured it would be exactly the same. It isn't. It has a lot of the same stories but some are missing, like "The Lottery." Luckily it's a book of short stories, so the stories that are missing you can get online. The price is worth the work. It's half the price of the new book. A paper back book is not worth 58 dollars. Buy this look up the other stories.
Plus it's easy to navigate.
