An Introduction to Literature

A market leader for more than 30 years, this paperback anthology continues to uphold the traditions that have made it a success-- a rich blend of both classic and contemporary selections as well as Barnet's signature how-to apparatus that covers the elements of literature and the writing process. The new edition features more student essays than any other anthology giving students a deep reservoir of writing models to learn from including argument papers and film reviews. In addition, a wealth of instructor favorites have been added including works by D.H. Lawrence, Ambrose Bierce, Cynthia Ozick, Liliana Heker, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Thomas Hardy, Linda Pastan, and David Ives.
