Almost a third of the literature is new. The third edition maintains its judicious balance of classic and contemporary. A little less classic and a little more contemporary selection of fiction, with 15 new stories ranging from classics by Anton Chekhov and William Faulkner to modern and contemporary gems by Sherman Alexie, T.C. Boyle, Jhumpa Lahiri, and Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche. Canonical poets in more depth, and a freshened selection of contemporary poems. The 55 new poems include more selections from the work of Emily Dickinson and Robert Frost, as well as recent pieces by younger poets such as Li-Young Lee, Natasha Trethewey, and Honoree Fannone Jeffers. Classic, modern, and recent plays: William Shakespeare's Othello, Lorraine Hansberry''s A Raisin in the Sun, and Lynn Nottage's POOF!More help with reading and writing about literature. The writing instruction at the back of the book has been updated and expanded to include more student papers and annotated literature to serve as models, more help with close reading, an introduction to the culture of literature classrooms, and more robust instruction on literary elements.A alternative thematic table of contents makes building thematic units and clustered reading and writing assignments an easier task.
