Instructor's Manual to Accompany - Literature: An Introduction to Fiction, Poetry, Drama, and Writing Edition: 12

This manual tries to provide exactly that sort of collegial conversation—spiritedbut specific, informal but informed. We offer you a sheaf of diverse notes to supply—if you want them—classroom strategies, critical comments, biographical information,historical context, and a few homemade opinions. These last may be wrong, but weset them down to give you something clear-cut with which to agree or disagree.Candor, we think, helps to enliven any conversation.The manual includes:• Commentary on every story, poem, and play presented in the text, except fora few brief poems quoted in the text as illustrations;• Additional classroom questions and discussion strategies;• Thematic Indices at the beginning of the “Fiction” and “Poetry” sections.
