Description
Designed for courses taught at the introductory level in Canadian universities and colleges, this new anthology provides a rich selection of literary texts. In each genre the anthology includes a vibrant mix of classic and contemporary works. Each work is accompanied by an author biography 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 Broadview Introduction to Literature: Drama includes plays from the sixteenth through the twenty-first centuries, ranging from widely known classics to experimental works. Illustrations to several plays provide further historical and theatrical context.
