Social Issues in Literature meets the need for materials
supporting curriculum integration. Each title in this
distinctive new series examines an important literary work or
body of work through the lens of a major social issue. Each
volume presents biographical and critical information on the
author, viewpoints on the social issue portrayed in the book,
and contemporary assessments of the social issue as well as a
chronology of important dates in the author's life, discussion
questions, a guide to additional literary works that focus on
the same social issue, a bibliography for further research and a
thorough subject index. "this series focuses on how social
issues have been presented in classic literature. These books
provide a unique perspective to the United States' social issues
both past and present." --ARBA, March 2009 Price: US $28.45
