Feature
MORE COMPLETE MAJOR WORKS. MORE CONTEMPORARY WRITERS

The Tenth Edition introduces six much-requested contemporary writers, all global in reach—including Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Kazuo Ishiguro and Hilary Mantel. There are also five NEW complete longer works, among them Shakespeare’s Othello and Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels. In response to instructors’ requests, the editorial team has also added dozens of other NEW selections throughout the book.

25 NEW VIDEO MODULES TAKE STUDENTS BEHIND THE SCENES

Designed to enhance classroom presentation, the 25 NEW video modules were conceived of and are narrated by the anthology editors themselves. The modules, available via the NAEL Archive give students a fascinating window into the literary past and present, whether through a look at rarely seen books and manuscripts; a guided tour of the settings where authors brought literary characters into being; interviews with living authors; or a teacher-to-teacher tutorial on conveying a literary form or tradition.

7 NEW LECTURE-LENGTH CONTEXTUAL CLUSTERS EMPHASISE KEY THEMES

Designed to be teachable in a class period or two, these thematic groupings of short texts focus on cultural issues and literary forms and movements. The Tenth Edition strengthens this popular feature with seven NEW clusters, including "Talking Animals" and "Print Culture and the Rise of the Novel".
