## Description

The Norton Introduction to Literature

Review: Vast Collection of Poetry and Short Stories - Over the summer I took an online poetry and short story English class, and this book was required. Many reviewers posted how they ended up with the wrong edition (this is the PORTABLE edition), but if they purchased this for a class, i'm pretty sure somewhere on the syllabus it specified which was needed. I double checked my teacher's syllabus, and purchased the correct one. While I have little to no interest in both poetry and short stories (probably a bad idea for me to take this class, oh well), this book allowed me to do great in the class, and I learned a lot. The rental process went great, and i'd recommend this to anyone who is interested in a vast collection of stories from many different authors and poets!
Review: Read, Read and Read - I did take the course for college awhile back. This book is very comprehensive and a very good read. It was so much reading so be prepared if you take this coliege course because you literally have a lot of material to cover. It was very interesting and I do recommend reading even though it is a thick book. It went from one era to the next. You get to read different styles of writing and if you like to read this has so many different writers, then you'll love it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ FANTASTIC quality content in the book; pages are thin
*by K***. on August 16, 2016*

Extremely high quality made book with a nice cover for a paperback. Thick with some great content and descriptions/definitions for some very core and critical concepts. Great book for English majors or not. Highly recommend it to teachers. Pages are fairly thin, so be careful.
