From Shakespeare to Harry Potter

Connie Ann Kirk

3/5 ( ratings)

From Shakespeare to Harry Potter: An Introduction to Literature for All Ages is a literature primer for ages 9 to 99. Using well-known examples from William Shakespeare, Harry Potter, and other works, the book explains important concepts in a friendly but knowledgeable way that non-experts can readily understand. Topics include fiction, poetry, and drama but also "life writing," screenplays, and songs. Clear and brief explanations such as "How to Read a Poem" and "Conventions of Writing About Literature" help readers apply concepts easily to titles of their choice. Recommended book lists and a proven method for reading notes promote independent reading, while poetic photographs stimulate interpretative thinking. Created for general readers, students, and teachers alike, From Shakespeare to Harry Potter makes a fine starting point for exploring the wonders of literary art.
