For Marv
We all suffer alone in the real world; true empathys impossible. But if a piece of fiction can allow us imaginatively to identify with a characters pain, we might then also more easily conceive of others identifying with our own. This is nourishing, redemptive; we become less alone inside. It might just be that simple.
David Foster Wallace
While committed readers would agree that they read literature because they find it delightful, instructive, or both, many of your students may read literature because it has been assigned to them in a required class. Weve prepared every edition of Literature: The Human Experience for such students. For them, we choose literature thats entertaining and thought-provoking enough to capture the interest of indifferent or uncommitted readers. We organize that literature to address cradle-to-grave thematic concerns that are compelling and inescapable. Finally, we show students how to connect with what they encounter in the literature through their reading, discussion, and writing. As the epigraph by David Foster Wallace suggests, reading literature can forge empathetic links that are consoling, sustaining, and even redemptive. We believe that students experience of literature in a course should leave them feeling connected, not only to the writing they read and the writers who wrote it, but also to one anotherindeed, to the multitudes of others, past and present, whose lives comprise the human experience.
Everything thats new in the thirteenth edition furthers these goals. New works by young writers extend our effort to bring students to literature by including writing that speaks, in voices more like theirs, of experiences to which they can connect. New examples of classic literature on timeless themes continue to represent the best thats been thought and said and as well the perennial need for humans to represent their experiences through imaginative work and storytelling. New pairs and clusters of literary works juxtapose classic and recent writing, encouraging critical comparative thinking. New argument-focused questions ask students to engage more actively with selections, pushing them to think critically and write persuasively about literature. Creative new writing topics strengthen the books emphasis on getting students to see literatureand lifeas writers.
