The Bedford anthology of world literature

About this book

Instructor resources include maps and images from the anthology for classroom presentations, sample syllabi, and the instructor's manuals. A comparative timeline and interactive world map provide context for specific periods, regions, authors, and works featured in the anthology. Each "Culture and Context" overview provides additional historical background and points of departure. "World Lit in the 21st Century" discussions trace the enduring presence of the most frequently taught world literature texts. LitLinks entries present biographies and annotated research links for individual authors. LitQuiz quizzes and password-protected reports allow instructors to check their students' understanding of assigned readings. -- from back cover.
