This version of Literature: An Introduction to Fiction, Poetry, Drama, and Writing, Compact Edition has been updated to reflect the 8th edition of the MLA Handbook (April 2016). 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. Cultivate a Love of Literature... A streamlined version of Kennedy/Gioia's acclaimed literary anthology, Literature: An Introduction to Fiction, Poetry, Drama, and Writing, Compact Edition is a book to lead readers beyond the boundaries of self to see the world through the eyes of others. The authors developed this text with two major goals in mind: to introduce college students to the appreciation and experience of literature in its major forms and to develop students' abilities to think critically and communicate effectively through writing. The book is built on the assumption that great literature can enrich and enlarge the lives it touches. Both editors, literary writers themselves, believe that textbooks should be not only informative and accurate but also lively, accessible, and engaging. Also available with MyLiteratureLab (R) MyLiteratureLab is an online resource that works with our literature anthologies to provide engaging experiences to instructors and students. Students can access new content that fosters an understanding of literary elements, which provides a foundation for stimulating class discussions.

Book Description
Over his long and distinguished teaching career, whenever Edgar Roberts taught literature and composition he dedicated a substantial amount of his class time to explaining to students how they should go about effectively completing their writing assignments. He found that, the more time he spent demonstrating how to write clearly, strategically, and persuasively about literary works, the better the students' final essays were. Over the years, he tried and tested hundreds of assignments on hundreds of literary works in his own classes and came up with many valuable suggestions for how to improve students' ability to write about literature. To enable him to share his experience and his successful teaching strategies, Professor Roberts attempted to create his ideal resource for literature and composition classrooms; it had to include both a rich anthology of diverse classic and contemporary works and a thorough, practical presentation of writing skills and strategies to use in analyzing these works. Literature: An Introduction to Reading and Writing, Compact Sixth Edition is founded on these principles of writing about literature. First, students should learn how to engage deeply and critically with a broad selection of stories, poems, and plays. Second, the writing process must be carefully and thoroughly integrated into the presentation of all literary genres, elements, and major writers throughout the entire text, not relegated to a single separate chapter or appendix. Complete coverage of writing about each literary element, "casebooks" that allow for deeper exploration of important writers in each genre, and a total of 53 exemplary student essays and paragraphs with accompanying commentary ensure that students gain a thorough comprehension of the conventions, strategies, and organizational patterns to allow them to think critically about literature and to produce thoughtful and compelling essays, paragraphs, documented research papers, and examination responses.
