Literature & Linguistics   Text Book Third Edition ©  2002 Robert Scholes Brown University Nancy R. Comley Queens College, City University of NY Gregory L. Ulmer University of Florida Overview Features New to This Edition Table of Contents About the Author(s) Media & Supplements Buy This Book Companion Web Site Exam & Desk Copies Designed for literature-based writing courses, Text Book introduces students to the idea that literary texts and ordinary spoken and written language share many of the same features. By providing imaginative methods and unique assignments that let students work with those features in their writing, Text Book involves students in the processes of exploring literature creatively, not simply consuming and analyzing it, helping them understand literature "from the inside out."   "Text Book is a refreshing change from dated, new-critical approach readers. Its strength lies in its approach to literature via language and its basic assumptions about textuality, narrative and metaphoric language being the means by which we construct and mediate ‘reality.’" — Michelle Ballif, The University of Georgia   Text Book Writing Through Literature Paper Text, 384pgs.
