I love this text! In contains a wide variety of selections from each major literature genre.

Very complete information

Like the book. There were a lot of poems not in this edition for my class. In newest edition more info about authors and readings.

Perfect

Although it took more that 20days to arrived. It came in great almost perfect conditions. My feared went it took all that time was that its was going to be the wrong book. But it was exactly what my professor ask for.

Ordered it for my daughter, so I am cannot rate it's contents. It was a good price and came in good condition in a timely manner.

Not only did it take 18 days for me to receive my book, the information posted about the book was false. Instead of purchasing the textbook that was listed in the description, I was tricked into purchasing the "Instructor Manual" for that textbook. The title, author, nor the description didn't state anything about this book being the "Instructor's Manual to Accompany: Literature Reading Fiction, Poetry, Drama, and the Essay." Terrible seller.Here is a copy of the listed description: This anthology is a broad introduction to the reading of fiction, poetry, drama and the essay, and should be appropriate for both introduction-to-literature courses and composition courses that incorporate literature. This volume covers the reading process for each genre and encourages students to see literature as an imaginative reflection of life. The poetry section is illustrated with full-colour art. This new edition presents a wider range of multicultural writers in all genres and more contemporary selections. The "poems and paintings" section has been expanded and now contains more poems in translation and poems from other languages. A new section on literary criticism features essays representing a variety of approaches to reading and enjoying literature. The drama section has been expanded to contain 17 full plays, including Shakespeare's "As You Like It", Tennessee Williams's "The Glass Menagerie", August Wilson's "Fences" and Wendy Wasserstein's "The Man in a Case". An instructor's manual (0-07-016946-2) is also available.
