Publisher's Description of Abeka World Literature Student Textbook

Enjoy, appreciate, and analyze classic literature with this anthology of World Literature. This compilation is divided into 2 sections—the first half focuses on giving your child specific examples of literary devices such as character development, plot, figurative language, theme, rhyme and rhythm, paradox, setting, and more. The second half gives a chronological study of literature from the Ancient East and Classical Greece to the Reformation and the Modern Age. Teach your child literary devices and then help him evaluate those in works such as Paradise Lost, Julius Caesar, Don Quixote, Antigone, and many more. Background information, introductions, vocabulary words, and comprehension questions promote appreciation and application of these classic selections.

The first part of World Literature offers a background to the study of world literature. In previous years, students have read mostly for enjoyment; now they are ready to learn about the makeup of literature. They will be introduced to the short story, essay, novel, narrative poetry, and descriptive poetry. Students will also learn the meaning and use of many literary terms and devices, especially figurative language. Examples of each term will be pointed out in the selections that they read. The art parallels the theme of each unit.

In the second part of the book, students are introduced chronologically to classic selections from the time of the ancient East to the Modern Age (twentieth century). The selections chosen reflect the thinking of each time period. Students will also study drama and learn about Elizabethan and Greek theaters. The art selections represent the spirit of the people as well as their thinking and emphasis in each period of writing.
