“Unlike any other literature-based reader I’ve located, Making Literature Matter’s thematic groupings of texts encourages my English Composition students—even those typically intimidated by or resentful of literature—to locate, choose, and write about literature that matters to them.
—Jennifer Dorfield, Westfield State College
“I’m always impressed by the kind of work this anthology inspires from students”
—Jim O’Loughlin, University of Northern Iowa
“Making Literature Matter gets students to understand the complexity and relevance of literature and, in doing so, shapes their writing and argumentation skills.”
— Daniel Schierenbeck, University of Central Missouri
