Texas Literature: A Case Study offers a sampling of stories, poems, essays, images, and historical documents from the state Molly Ivins affectionately called "cantankerous and ridiculously friendly." In his introduction to the book, Dagoberto Gilb writes of the state he calls home: "If for no other reason than that it lasted ten years as a country all its own, ‘region’ does not pertain to it." Texas is in a category all its own.
We invite you to enjoy this collection and hope it enriches your own perspective on the Lone Star state. As Gilb writes: "¡Que viva Texas! Onward and adelante!"

Features

New to This Edition

"This case study is an engaging introduction to Texas literature — of interest both to native Texans…and to all the less fortunate folks who were born somewhere else."
— Cheryl Clements, Blinn College — Bryan Campus

This brief book succeeds admirably in capturing the diversity of Texas literature. Its blend of voices and genres makes the casebook appropriate for a range of literature and composition courses. 
— Bob Wyckoff, Texas A&M University
