The Compact Bedford Introduction to Literature is a best-seller for a reason: It brings literature to life for students, helping to make them lifelong readers and better writers. Classic works drawn from many periods and cultures appear alongside a strong showing from today’s authors. There is plenty of support for students, with a dozen chapters of critical reading and writing support, helpful sample close readings, writing assignments, and student papers. And, because everyone teaches and learns a little differently, there are lots of options for working with the literature, including case studies on individual works and themes that everyone can relate to. In-depth chapters on major authors like Flannery O’Connor and Emily Dickinson take students deeper into their work, and the new tenth edition features a chapter on the fiction of Dagoberto Gilb, created in collaboration with the author himself—one more way that the anthology showcases literature as a living, changing art form.

It is really compact as called by the author/publishers. This book is painstakingly put together by the author's wealth of experience in the field literature. It will arm every student that painstakingly read and study the materials in it. The most interesting aspect of it is the external online resources provide to widen and deepen the understanding of literature at this level and your research. It is FABULOUS!I will recommend it 24/7 to anyone who really wants to have a formidable foundation in reading, critical thinking and writing. It is helping me big time. Go for it, do not hesitate. It is worth more than the price, though pricy as it may appear to some.Good job Michael.

This is exactly the book that my stepdaughter needed for her first college English class. It showed up in perfect condition and she was happy to have it. Even though she waited until the last minute to tell me she needed the book it arrived on time. She was able to follow along without any issues in class and even found herself surfing through the book even when she wasn't required to read it.

It is never fun to have to read for school but this book really made it more pleasant. .com is also the best place to purchase school books. Their prices definitely beat the competition and they have the best customer service around! The book did have some cosmetic flaws but it didn't cause any issues with reading or handling the book.I do a lot of reviews so here is a breakdown on how I determine my star rating of a product:5 stars – I love it! It is awesome and I highly recommend everyone to purchase this product!4 stars – I like it, but there are some flaws. Don't we all have flaws? I would purchase again.3 stars - It was okay, but I would probably not buy it again unless there are no other options.2 stars – There may be worse products out there, but you can definitely find better choices.1 star – I dislike the product, I wish I had not purchased it and recommend others to not purchase

Only used a few stories out of this book.

Awesome book of meaty literature

The print is quite small but overall the book meets my expectations. I read four stories and i love the content.It is easy to comprehend.

came in great condition.The readings are a great mix of contemporary and canon writers alike

This is a highly stained book, would have liked a replacement rental for it
