Drawn from our best-selling anthology The Compact Bedford Introduction to Literature, Literature to Go is a brief and inexpensive collection of stories, poems, and plays accompanied by thorough critical reading and writing support. With literature from many periods, cultures, and diverse voices, the book is also a complete guide to close reading, critical thinking, and thoughtful writing about literature. The fourth edition features 132 new, carefully chosen stories, poems, and plays—continuing the anthology's mission to present literature as a living, changing art form.
