Novels for Students
Classics like "The Bell Jar" by Sylvia Plath, "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, and dozens
of other timeless novels are included in this series. Each volume offers context-rich discussions
of the literary and historical background of works from various cultures and time periods—
novels that students and teachers have studied through the ages. The novels included in this
series have been vetted and selected by an advisory panel of teachers and librarians—those
who know and understand the needs of students. Not only do they ensure the relevance of
these novels in the curriculum, but they also ensure that the content is age-appropriate
for the classroom.
Poetry for Students
While this series was designed specifically to satisfy the curricula in high schools and
undergraduate college programs, it may also spark a lifelong love of poetry in those who
use it. This series features well-known poems like "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe and
"Ode on a Grecian Urn" by John Keats, as well as other frequently studied works like "Siren
Song" by Margaret Atwood, "The Soldier" by Rupert Brooke, and "To an Athlete Dying Young"
by A. E. Housman.
Short Stories for Students
This illustrated series presents vital information on the short stories most studied at the high
school and early-college levels. Stories like "Araby" by James Joyce, "The Celebrated Jumping
Frog of Calaveras County" by Mark Twain, "Children of the Sea" by Edwidge Danticat, and
"The Devil and Tom Walker" by Washington Irving are featured, accompanied by synopses of
plot, characters and themes, author biographies, and criticism written at an age appropriate
level. Educators will especially appreciate the information on media adaptations of the story,
discussion questions, and suggestions for other reading.
