New to This Edition
“ Reading and Writing About Literature gives a good introduction to the process of analytical reading and writing as well as practical information about polishing and formatting an essay. It usefully shows students how to ask good analytical questions, how to develop an argument, and how to go about revising their work from the global level down to the proofreading level.” — Paul Huebener, Athabasca University “ Reading and Writing about Literature is a highly accessible primer on how to write critically about literature.” — Heath Diehl, Bowling Green State University
