Containing short stories, poems and extracts from prose, this text introduces intermediate level language students to literary texts. Interaction between the reader and the text is the keynote and vocabulary work, language exercises and thematic discussions are integral to each of the ten chapters. A wide variety of writers are featured, ranging from Shakespeare and Dickens to John McGough, Muriel Spark and John Steinbeck. Teacher's notes are provided at the back of the book. There is also an accompanying cassette which is available separately, containing most of the extracts and poetry.
