Editorial Reviews

"This text provides a holistic look at American literature, not teaching only the "classic works" of American literature with a few "diverse" authors thrown in, but devoting large sections of the text and the readings to demonstrating the polyglot of voices that contributed to American literature of this period. The table of contents alone is an eye-opener."

"Volume C is a historically-grounded anthology that gives students the opportunity to wrestle with the complex issues and perspectives that made the period from the end of the civil war to the beginning of World War I such a vibrant and volatile time in American literature."
