Reconceived for ease of use and substantially rewritten, the Guide offers extensive help from planning a course and developing a syllabus and course objectives to preparing exams. For authors and works, the Guide entries provide a "hook" to start a lively class discussion; a Quick Read section to refresh instructors on essential information about a text or author; Teaching Suggestions that call out interesting textual or contextual features; Teaching Clusters of suggested groups or pairs of texts; and Discussion Questions.

Built into the Guide is a freestanding Media Guide by Philip Schwyzer, which offers imaginative suggestions for integrating the anthology’s rich multimedia tools with the text and for incorporating them into traditional or distance-learning courses.
