The Longman Anthology of World Literature, Volume A offers a fresh and highly teachable presentation of the varieties of world literature from the ancient world. The editors of the anthology have sought to find economical ways to place texts within their cultural contexts, and have selected and grouped materials in ways intended to foster connections and conversations across the anthology, between eras as well as regions. The anthology includes epic, lyric poetry, drama, and prose narrative, with many works in their entirety. Classic major authors are presented together with more recently recovered voices as the editors seek to suggest something of the full literary dialogue of each region and period. Engaging introductions, scholarly annotations, regional maps, pronunciation guides, and illustrations will provide a supportive editorial setting. An accompanying Instructor's Manual written by the editors offers practical suggestions for the classroom.Damrosch, David is the author of 'Longman Anthology of World Literature The Twentieth Century', published 2004 under ISBN 9780321055330 and ISBN 0321055330.
