Publisher's Synopsis
Anthology of American Literature is available in two-volume and concise editions. The carefully selected works introduce readers to America's literary heritage, from the colonial times of William Bradford and Anne Bradstreet to the contemporary era of Saul Bellow and Toni Morrison. Volume II includes literary works from the late nineteenth century through the twenty-first century. There is a new section on Literature of the Twenty-first Century with increased emphasis on current authors and context as well as a separate period introduction and timeline. Period introductions and headnotes have been revised and updated and new selections have been added from a diverse group of writers.
