A SHORT GUIDE TO WRITING ABOUT LITERATURE (7TH EDITION)
Emphasizing writing as a process and incorporating current critical approaches to literature, the book offers students step-by-step guidance for writing effective essays. This supplementary text, praised for its accessibility and practicality, includes coverage of fiction, poetry, drama, essays, and film; student essays in each of these genres; and a glossary of critical terms for quick reference. Working from the assumption that good writers are good readers, it begins by offering advice on how students can enrich their reading responses-for instance, by annotating a text or keeping a journal. It then goes on to show students how to formulate ideas for papers and how to develop those ideas into strong, finished essays. CONDITION NOTE : YELLOWISH PAGES , PEN / Pencil marks
