Welcome to Longman English Literature. Since the publication of Samuel Johnson's A Dictionary of the English Language in 1755, Addison Wesley Longman has a long history of publishing superior Literature titles. From the bestselling literature anthology by X.J. Kennedy and Dana Gioia to the new Longman Anthology of British Literature by David Damrosch, we are committed to publishing the best books in Literature in the industry. This year we have new titles in popular fiction, creative writing, and upper-level literary criticism, as well as new editions of a brief fiction anthology, two poetry anthologies, and a text on literary criticism. Literature as a discipline is dynamic and colorful now as it ever was, and Longman's books only add to this vibrancy.
