- Synopsis
-
Covering American literature from its pre-contact Indigenous beginnings through the Reconstruction period, the first two volumes of The Broadview Anthology of American Literature represent a substantial reconceiving of the canon of early American literature. Guided by the latest scholarship in American literary studies, and deeply committed to inclusiveness, social responsibility, and rigorous contextualization, the anthology balances representation of widely agreed-upon major works with an emphasis on American literature’s diversity, variety, breadth, and connections with the rest of the Americas.
Volume B, which covers 1820 to Reconstruction, is available separately or packaged together with Volume A; a concise volume covering Beginnings to Reconstruction is also available. Volumes covering Reconstruction to the Present are in development.
Highlights of Volume A: Beginnings to 1820
• Complete texts of Mary Rowlandson’s captivity narrative and Hannah Webster Foster’s The Coquette
• In-depth Contexts sections on such topics as “Slavery and Resistance,” “Rebellions and Revolutions,” and “Print Culture and Popular Literature”
