"The 'In the World' sections are a very valuable aspect of this anthology. Students are naturally drawn to read, sometimes without prompting, the selections in these sections — an excellent way of not only getting them to think comparatively about the particular theme or issue as treated in different works from different cultures but also to get a glimpse of new works and authors…..This anthology truly brings the students to understand literature as an aspect of broader historical and cultural currents. I cannot think of a better text for the teaching of world literature at the college level." — Fidel Fajardo-Acosta, Creighton University "The range of texts and topics is truly admirable. The variety of sources also allows for fertile cross-cultural comparisons." — Robin Mitchell-Boyask, Temple University “Simply superb — particularly in making such vast and difficult material both teachable and accessible” — Linda K. McCloud, Broward Community College“This is an exciting book, for it provides so many familiar texts and less familiar texts to challenge the instructor to explore.”— Gordon O’Neal, Collin County Community College
