With the clear understanding that reading literature and writing about it are distinctly different tasks, Griffith begins with an abundance of strategies about interpreting fiction, drama, and poetry, including specialized approaches, working from a range of texts. She proceeds to describe how to choose topics, draft essays, revise and edit, and conduct research in primary and secondary sources. Especially helpful is her chapter on taking essay tests, her collection of sample essays, an index for concepts and terms, and another for critics, authors and works. For this edition Griffith has included exercises, checklists for close reading, and a new glossary. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
