DiYanni, Robert. Literature: Approaches to Fiction, Poetry, and Drama. 2nd edition. McGraw-Hill, 2008

Hi.

This book presents different approaches primarily for students, beginning with interpretation and evaluation, with an emphasis on connecting texts and creating critical thinking about literature. In addition to presenting elements of literature and their literary analysis, it best balances some classic, modern and contemporary works, making a combination of well-known writers with newer writers. Finally, it presents a great coverage of writing in literature, which makes this book an exquisite and rich text for the introduction to literature courses.
