Now Read On brings together literatures in English from around the world, combining an excellent choice of texts with sound methodological guidance. It contains approximately eighty texts and extracts from countries and continents including Africa, Australia, Great Britain, India, Southeast Asia, New Zealand, the Caribbean, and the USA. Designed as a course for native and non-native English-speakers in how to read literature, this anthology begins with short starter texts and questions, and develops in complexity as the reader progresses through the book.
