Literature, Class, and Culture: An Anthology (Longman Literature and Culture Series)

Literature, Class, and Culture is the latest volume in the Literature and Culture Series-a series devoted to presenting thoughtful and diverse approaches to the teaching of literature. Literature, Class, and Culture is a thematic literature anthology that focuses on the consideration of class in "classless" America. Through stories, poems, songs, and essays, these selections-from Edith Whorton, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Langston Hughes, John Cheever, Woody Guthrie, Bruce Springsteen, Toni Cade Bambara, Sholem Asch, Ernesto Galarza, Dorothy Allison, and others-vividly illustrate the meaning and impact of social class in the everyday lives of all kinds of people-at work, at play, mixing, disputing, interacting, talking, and thinking.
