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 short fiction volume of The Broadview Introduction to Literature gathers 39 important short stories from Edgar Allan Poe to Sherman Alexie. Examples of microfiction, illustrated fiction, and formally innovative stories are included along with classics of the genre.
