Summary The Language of Composition is the first textbook built from the ground up to help students succeed in the AP English Language course.

With practical advice and an extensive selection of readings -- including essays, poetry, fiction, and visual texts -- The Language of Composition helps students develop the key skills they must master to pass the course, to succeed on the AP Exam, and to prepare for a successful college career.
