Description: Truly global in balance, this one volume anthology provides a coherent, manageable selection of major works of world literature. Its strength lies in the choice of texts from many cultures of the world in three main historical periods: Ancient, Middle, and Modern. By tracing thematic connections and contrasts among works from differing traditions, it helps students put world literature into cultural, social, and historical perspective.
Notes: Includes index.
