Publisher's Synopsis
The rich tradition of Kennedy and Gioia's collective poetic voice bring personal warmth and a human perspective to the discussion of literature, adding to students' interest in the readings in the Third Edition.
Literature, Compact, Third Edition, is organized into three genres-Fiction, Poetry, and Drama. This edition reflects a balance of classic works along with contemporary and non-Western authors. More theory has been added through the addition of new casebooks and new critical essays.
