I truly enjoyed it so much that I decided to keep it after the class was over. It contains a wonderful compliation of different types of literature - lots of classics. Really gives the reader the ability to understand good literature and an appreciation for the abilities of a good author! Rating: 5 / 5 I bought this text for use in a college English class.

It's more of a collection of plays, stories, poems, etc. than a "literature is blah, blah, blah". It's also very informative, some of the english books I've had for other classes have been really boring or they've cut some of the authors work short. This one gives you so much that I'd really call it more of a book of collected works than a textbook. <br /> <br />It's also broken into sections like Fiction, Poems, which makes it easy to navigate through and the sections are further broken into chapters such as theme, setting, etc. with works that correspond, so you really get a good example of what each chapter is talking about. <br /> <br />One negative though would be the size, it's really big but with all that's included I guess it only makes sense that it would be that massive. <br /> <br />All in all it was a great purchase plus I think I bought it from someone on Amazon for a $1 (for a hardcover!) so it was also a good buy. My suggestion would be that more English professosrs should use it or for anyone who just wants to be informed literally, this is a really good book.
