Classic Genre Literature for the 21st Century

Your aim is to consider the best quality literature or literature that you believe will stand the test of time and still remain popular many years from now, both for their literary quality and the cultural values they impart.

In this project, your opinions and your decisions are the basis of the assignment - you will be the one making the decision. You will create an anthology of 10 books from a particular genre.

Choose from the following genre:

• Adventure
• Crime and Mystery
• Fantasy
• Historical Fiction
• Horror Romance
• Science Fiction
• War

Read widely and compile your choice of 10 books.

Write an introductory essay on the genre which identifies the key characteristics of the genre and discusses notable authors and their works of the genre.

Provide a brief analysis of the rationale for your choice of the 10 books

Include a review of each of the 10 books and includes a photo image of the book cover.
