[UPDATE 2011: THIS BOOK IS NOW OUT OF PRINT. I am sad...it was an excellent title for my Intro to Literary Studies course -- I hope it gets reissued and updated in the future, because it had a wonderfully adaptable approach to themes.]

I'm teaching this reader in my Spring 2009 Intro to Literary Studies course at Seton Hill University. It covers a lot of neat clusters of stories/poems/plays by themes in literary history (for example, there's a section on "Food and the Kitchen" in literature). show more Good book to survey lit as a way of examining how meanings are constructed. show less
