Literature and the Writing Process

: By combining the elements of a literature anthology with those of a handbook, Literature and the Writing Process guides readers through the interrelated process of analytical reading and critical writing.   : Throughout decades of combined teaching and writing experience the authors of LIterature and the Writing Process have held to a simple premise: great literature is always thought- provoking, always new; why not utilize it to sharpen critical thinking and improve writing skills?  Grown out of this long-standing interest in the possibility of integrating the study of literature with the practice of composition, Literature and the Writing Process has become a unique and time-tested staple for people wanting to improve their writing skills by reading great literature.  The new edition includes the updated MLA guidelines.  A refreshed drama section includes two memorable plays:  Picnic on the Battlefield , by Fernando Arrabal, and Beauty , by Jane Martin.  A Raisin in the Sun , by Lorraine Hansberry, has been brought back to this edition by popular demand.   MARKET :  For people wanting to improve their writing skills by reading great literature.
