This book about writing and literature contains a comprehensive anthology of works - stories, plays, and poems - designed to help the reader appreciate the works in the context of writing about them. Included in this collection are numerous example essays and discussions of important literary subjects such as character, setting, and symbolism, guaranteed to ensure that the reader comes away with an understanding of how to read fine literature and critique it. This book covers such literary topics as character, point of view, plot and structure, and setting, and emphasizes the technique of close-reading, allowing the user to fully appreciate and understand the collection of works presented. The selections include stories by Bierce, Chopin, Hardy, Hawthorne, Mansfield, Poe, de Maupassant, and O'Connor; poems by Arnold, Blake, Coleridge, Frost, Hardy, Herbert, Hughes, Keats, Layton, Lowell, Owen, Randall, Shakespeare, Lord Tennyson, Yeats, Whitman, and Wordsworth; and plays by Chekhov and Glaspell. For any reader interested in learning more about the way that reading fine literature and writing fine essays are connected.

From the Publisher:
In this Eighth Edition of Writing About Literature, Roberts has kept and strengthened the features that have brought this textbook such acclaim in previous editions, while bringing other areas of both content and strategy through almost total revision. The text provides comprehensive discussions and sample papers for students who are writing about the elements of literature.
From the Back Cover:

Students who write about what they read learn twice, for as they plan and develop their writing, they necessarily grow as thinkers.

This book provides comprehensive discussions and sample papers for students who are writing about the elements of literature. All chapters contain discussions of important literary subjects—such as character, setting, and symbolism—followed by a guide to the necessary steps for students to produce good essays.
