Synopsis
One of the first anthologies designed specifically for writing courses, Literature for Composition continues to offer superior coverage of reading, writing, and arguing about literature and a deep anthology of readings presented in Sylvan Barnet’s signature accessible style.
Literature for Composition opens with several chapters that provide uniquely helpful strategies and models for reading, thinking, and writing critically about literature. The first text to link argument and literature, the eighth edition provides earlier discussions of arguing about literature as part of the writing process. A diverse anthology of selections is organized around seven engaging themes, and nine compelling case studies help launch research projects. The text's 200 images, a 4-color insert, and special chapters on visual literacy and literature on film add another appealing dimension to the study of literature.

July 18, 2009: I disagree with the first review. I used this textbook in college and it was not easy. I had to do a lot of studying. I guess it just depends upon the level where someone is at. As for me, it is definitely a good textbook for this college student.

February 13, 2008: We have had this textbook thrust upon us by administration, and I have not spoken to a single instructor who likes this book at all. The organization is, to say the least, strange, and the student essays offered as examples are on a par with middle-school writing. I have been teaching English and Writing for over twenty years, and I have to say this is the least academic text I've ever had to use.
