The Bedford Introduction to Literature

Hardcover - February, 1993

by Michael Meyer (Author)

The Bedford Introduction to Literature is a best-seller for a reason: It brings literature to life for students, helping to make them lifelong readers and better writers.

Classic works drawn from many periods and cultures appear alongside a strong showing from todays notable authors.

There is plenty of support for students, with a dozen chapters of critical reading and writing support, helpful sample close readings, writing assignments, and student papers.

And, because everyone teaches and learns a little differently, there are lots of options for working with the literature, including case studies on individual works and themes that everyone can relate to.

In-depth chapters on major authors like Flannery OConnor and Emily Dickinson take students deeper into their work, and the new tenth edition features a chapter on the fiction of Dagoberto Gilb, created in collaboration with the author himself - one more way that the anthology showcases literature as a living, changing art form.
