Literature for Composition, MLA Update (11th Edition)

For courses in Literature for Composition, Writing About Literature, and Introduction to Literature.This version of Literature for Composition has been updated to reflect the 8th Edition of the MLA Handbook (April 2016)*
 
The definitive source for composition and introduction to literature courses
With an emphasis on critical thinking and argument, Literature for Composition offers superior coverage of reading, writing, and arguing about literature along with an anthology organized around eight thought-provoking themes. Throughout, the authors demonstrate that the skills emphasized in their discussions of communication are relevant not only to literature courses, but to all courses in which students analyze texts or write arguments.
* The 8th Edition introduces sweeping changes to the philosophy and details of MLA works cited entries. Responding to the “increasing mobility of texts,” MLA now encourages writers to focus on the process of crafting the citation, beginning with the same questions for any source. These changes, then, align with current best practices in the teaching of writing which privilege inquiry and critical thinking over rote recall and rule-following.
