World Literature

I was excited to peruse a textbook from my time as a student and possibly use this in my classroom. However, this textbook was delivered dry, bu obviously waterlogged at some point. The other book packaged with it was fine This book must have been shipped with this major damage, though it was indicated to be in 'good' condition.

The selections offer a wide variety of works, an excellent sampling for the highschool student. Note the secular world view. While there's no mention of C.S. Lewis, Tolkein or Chesterton (The Ballad of the White Horse comes to mind) this textbook does provide a myriad of classic selections from western and eastern literature: Song of Roland, The Illiad, Dante, the Koran, the Bible, and every continent's literature. Between the well delineated eras are helpful references, historical background notes and grammar and writing skills.
