Book Description Widely known as the anthology that best meshes tradition with innovation, THE AMERICAN TRADITION IN LITERATURE enters its fifth decade of leadership among textbook anthologies of American Literature. Literary merit remains the guiding principle of selection; flexibility of organization, with Walt Whitman fully represented in both volumes, continues to be one of the texts hallmarks. The ninth edition incorporates many new classic and contemporary offerings, with a special emphasis on women writers and writers from diverse backgrounds. | ||

Good Anthology I used this book in a college American literature class. It has tons of short stories and full text of a few novels. I forget which are the full text novels aside from "Huck Finn." One thing I like about this book is that it's diverse: it has the "traditional" American literature, but it also includes Richard Wright, Alice Walker, James Baldwin, etc. There are also really helpful footnotes that aide in understanding. | ||
