Preface for Instructors
Like its predecessors,
this Thirteenth Edition of The Norton Introduction to
Literature offers in a single volume a complete course in reading literature
and writing about it. A teaching anthology focused on the actual tasks,
challenges, and questions typically faced by students and instructors, The Norton
Introduction to Literature offers practical advice to help students transform their
first impressions of literary works into fruitful discussions and meaningful critical
essays, and it helps students and instructors together tackle the complex questions
at the heart of literary study.
The Norton Introduction to Literature has been revised with an eye to providing
a book that is as flexible and as useful as possible—adaptable to many different
teaching styles and individual preferences—and that also conveys the excitement
at the heart of literature itself.
NEW TO THE THIRTEENTH EDITION
Thirty-three
new selections
This lucky Thirteenth Edition of The Norton Introduction to Literature
features nine
new stories, over twenty new poems, and one new play. These
include new selections
from popular
and canonical writers including Ray Bradbury, Octavia Butler, Annie
Proulx, Oscar Wilde, and Virginia
Woolf (in Fiction and Drama), Maya Angelou,
Emily Dickinson, Joy Harjo, and Claude McKay (in Poetry). We invite you to feast on
Christina Rossetti’s delicious Goblin Market and a refreshed collection of Robert
Frost poems complete with the oft-taught
“Out, Out—” and “Fire and Ice.” But you
will
also find here
work by exciting new authors such as Alissa Nutting, A. E. Stallings,
and Pulitzer Prize winners Adam Johnson, Viet Thanh Nguyen, and Tracy K. Smith.
Prompting the reintroduction
of John Crowe Ransom’s “Bells for John Whiteside’s
Daughter,”
which it appears alongside, Hai-Dang
Phan’s moving “My Father’s
‘Norton
Introduction to Literature,’
Third Edition (1981)” reminds us just how much new works
and new voices renew and reanimate, rather than replace, classic ones.
A new science-fiction
album
One of the more popular
features of recent editions of The Norton Introduction to
Literature
are the albums
that invite students to consider and compare works linked
by author, subgenre, subject matter,
or setting, and so on. You will
find fifteen such
albums
in the Thirteenth Edition, including an entirely new one featuring science
fiction by Octavia Butler, Ray Bradbury, William Gibson, and Jennifer Egan.
Improved writing pedagogy
Recent editions of The Norton Introduction to Literature
greatly expanded and
improved the resources for student writers, including thorough introductions to each
