More than ever, students need to be exposed to the enduring literature of the past to discover its continuing vitality. At the same time, they want to read and appreciate the wealth of contemporary literature that speaks to their own interests as citizens of the twenty-first century. Accordingly, Approaching Literature presents an artful mix of old and new literature, along with a uniquely accessible approach to reading and writing about it.
"The greatest strength is the attention paid to helping students learn ways of responding to literature. Not only are the reading strategies presented, but also methods and assignments that help students to develop critical thinking skills and to respond to literature in several ways: writing in class essays, writing research papers, applying critical lenses, and responding in other forms." — Janice McKay, SUNY College at Brockport
