Cannery Row

Amid the sardine canneries, vacant lots, flophouses and honky-tonks of Monterey, Steinbeck assembles a colourful gallery of characters, including Lee Chong the grocer, Doc the marine biologist who surprisingly finds love, and Dora Flood, the flamboyent bordello proprietess. "New Longman Literature: Steinbeck" offers a complete study programme for Steinbeck novels. Each text contains a detailed introductory section and notes and activities for each chapter, all written for a range of abilities and designed to develop pupils' knowledge of the text and their skills of analysis. The "Programme of Study" section contains questions that help students improve their exam technique.
