Description

More than fifty years ago, Laurence Perrine pioneered an engaging approach to teaching literature that presented diverse, exciting examples and straightforward answers to tough questions. Since then, millions of students have used Perrine's introductions to the elements of literature, gaining a better understanding of fiction, poetry, and drama—and developing essential skills in critical reading, analysis, and writing. This book's classic and contemporary readings bring the elements of literature to life, and represent the most accessible selections of any first-year anthology. More than 75 new selections refresh the collection with a variety of respected voices, including, among others, Billy Collins, Seamus Heaney, Bernard Malamud, Jane Martin, Joyce Carol Oates, Mary Oliver, and Elizabeth Strout.
