Advanced Placement English Literature & Composition

This concise and accessible AMSCO® edition is structured and written to follow the current College Board® Course and Exam Description through a perfect blend of literary works, written by both classic and contemporary writers, and practical writing instruction.

Students examine the choices literary writers make and the techniques they use to achieve purpose and generate meaning. Scaffolded activities develop student competence in close reading, critical analysis, and interpretation of imaginative literature, while features on the writer's craft and the critic's craft strengthen creative and analytic skills.
