A new addition to the acclaimed Just the Facts educational series, Understanding Literature packs a lot of information into three short programs--The Elements of Fiction, The Elements of Poetry, and The Elements of Drama (also available separately for $29.95 each)--introducing viewers to the core concepts of fiction (plot, character, conflict, etc.), poetry (rhyme, meter, figurative language, etc.), and drama (dialogue, soliloquy, dramatic conventions, etc.), drawing on examples from both classic and contemporary works. A short study guide with learning objectives, key vocabulary, and discussion questions accompanies each video. Fast-paced and upbeat, this set would make a fine addition to junior high/sophomore introductory level literature classes. Recommended. Aud: J, H, P. (L. Stevens)
