The Broadview introduction to literature, short fiction

Chalykoff, Lisa, (editor.). Gordon, Neta, 1971- (editor.). Lumsden, Paul, 1961- (editor.).

Summary: "Designed for courses taught at the introductory level in Canadian universities and colleges, this new anthology provides a rich selection of literary texts. Unlike many other such anthologies, it includes literary non-fiction as well as poetry, short fiction, and drama. In each genre the anthology includes a vibrant mix of classic and contemporary works. Each work is accompanied by an introductory headnote and by explanatory notes, and each genre is prefaced by a substantial introduction. Pedagogically current and uncommon in its breadth of representation, The Broadview Introduction to Literature invites students into the world of literary study in a truly distinctive way. The second edition of The Broadview Anthology of Literature: Short Fiction includes new stories by Haruki Murakami, Octavia Butler, Lynn Coady, Leeanne Betasamosake Simpson, and more."--
