What can I say about textbooks--especially Literature textbooks. It's exceedingly hard to review them because of the fact that it's a compilation of various authors' works rather than one.

Regardless it was a fascinating class and the textbook was adequate. The stories, poems and plays were good, bad and downright ugly. But I've yet to go through a textbook were every story was intriguing.

Not a bad collection of literature and some good examples of literary criticism and essay work. The only complaint I have is from a student point of view. There are several bolded vocabulary words that do not exist within the glossary. It would be helpful if vocabulary was listed at the end of each chapter and if the glossary was more comprehensive.
