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. Highlights of Volumes A & B: Beginnings to Reconstruction * Complete texts of Mary Rowlandson's captivity narrative, The Coquette, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave; and Benito Cereno * In-depth, Contexts sections on such topics as "Slavery and Resistance," "Print Culture and Popular Literature," "Expansion, Native American Expulsion, and Manifest Destiny," and "Gender and Sexuality" * Broader and more extensive coverage of Indigenous oral and visual literature and African American oral literature than in competing anthologies * Full author sections in the anthology are devoted to authors such as Anne Hutchinson, Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, Briton Hammon, Jane Johnston Schoolcraft, Jose Maria Heredia, Black Hawk, and many others This two-volume package is available in both print (9781039301573) and digital (9781770488274) formats. If you are an instructor ordering this package for course use, please provide your bookstore with both ISBNs.
