内容説明
This book contains selections from Volumes I and II of the Anthology of American Literature, Seventh Edition. 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. It provides a wealth of additional contextual information surrounding the readings as well as the authors themselves. An expanded chronological chart and interaction time line help readers associate literary works with historical, political, technological, and cultural developments. Other coverage includes a continued emphasis on cultural plurality, including the contributions to the American literary canon made by women and minority authors, and a reflection of the changing nature of the canon of American Literature. For anyone who likes to read the writings of American Literatureand wants to understand the connection between those words and their place in American history.

A pretty good anthology
2002/11/28
形式:ペーパーバック
Let's face it, most people won't be buying this volume by choice--they'll buy it for a class. Still, it's good to know what you're getting into. This is a pretty good anthology of American literature, starting all the way back with Native American myths and Columbus's journals and continuing through Puritan, Enlightenment, Transcendentalist, Romantic, and modern periods of literature in America.
The introductions to the pieces are good--as good or better than Norton's--and the selections themselves are generally good. Still, though, there are a few notable things missing, but that is to be expected in any compendium, I suppose.
One of the highlights of this volume is the full reprints of Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography and Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn. If you have to buy this book, it should be useful and may even be worth keeping around after the class is over. I know I'm going to keep mine.

Good book

Bought this book for a class that required the next edition up but it worked well for me and provided most of what I needed. What it didn't provide, which was very little, were provided through the class anyway. Glad I saved my money by purchasing this later edition.It also contains some interesting tidbits about past authors and some good old works that I enjoyed reading.

Good for College

形式:ペーパーバック|Amazonが確認した購入
This book definitely delivers what it promises. There are a number of key short stories, poems and other piece of work from some of the most influential authors in American history. It also includes background information of a given period in time, as well as introductions on each author. There are also key terms or phrases explained within the text, since some portions of a given work of literature may be confusing using today's language.
