A Little Literature : 2009 MLA Update

Featuring the smallest trim size and page count of any comparable anthology, this appealing new three-genre collection encourages students to experience the pleasures of reading literature. Updated to reflect the new MLA Guidelines, A Little Literature: Reading, Writing, and Argument, 2009 MLA Update offers a compact and economical alternative to bulky anthologies. Despite the brevity of this compilation, a judicious mix of classic and contemporary selections--from Sophocles and Shakespeare to Amy Tan and Tobias Wolff--offers ample reading choices for instructors and students. Concise, yet complete, editorial apparatus provides guidance on reading, writing, and, most particularly, developing arguments about literature.
