Overview

Designed for introductory literature courses, LITERARY CONVERSATION presents critical thinking, reading, and writing strategies designed to elicit successful interpretation of literary works. The book invites readers to join widening and concentric circles of conversation, beginning with the interaction of the reader with the voices in the literary work, and expanding to include the contributions of other readers, the dialogues of the disciplinary community, and finally the voices of other experienced readers in published criticism.
