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: Poetry includes a broad range of both canonical authors and important but less-widely-known poets, and the poems are diverse in form, subject matter, and geographical and linguistic origin. Poems in translation from languages other than English are included with the original language text in facing page format.
