Responding to Literature: Stories, Poems, Plays, and Essays, 4/e
Judith Stanford, Rivier College


Overview

This thematically arranged anthology encourages the reader’s response to a diverse selection of literature, including the essay. Four introductory chapters illustrate ways of responding to and writing about literature, with numerous examples of student writing. Eight thematic chapters follow, with a balance of new and traditional voices, including less frequently anthologized selections from “canon” writers as well as many works by women, minorities, and writers from other countries. A final chapter presents three poets for in-depth study: Elizabeth Bishop, Robert Frost, and Langston Hughes. In addition, a 32-page full-color section pairs 16 poems with the works of art that inspired them or vice versa.
