About the Anthology
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 A, which covers Beginnings to 1820, is available separately or packaged together with Volume B; a concise volume covering Beginnings to Reconstruction is also available. Volumes covering Reconstruction to the Present are in development.
