| Writing about Literature introduces students to critical reading and writing through a thorough and engaging discussion of the field, but also through exercises, interviews, exemplary student and scholarly essays, and visual material. It offers students an insiderâ s guide to the language, issues, approaches, styles, assumptions, and traditions that inform the writing of successful critical essays, and aims to make student writers a part of the world of professional literary criticism. Much of the discussion is structured around ways to analyze and respond to a single work, Stephen Craneâ s story â The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky.â This second edition is updated throughout and includes a new chapter on â Reading and Writing About Poetryâ ; the chapter uses Robert Kroetschâ s poem â This Part of the Countryâ as the unit of analysis and includes an interview with the poet about his process. |
