Synopsis:

Beginning with Native American and pre-colonial narratives, and with an emphasis on whole works, this edition offers a full range of authors and selections representative of America's diverse literary traditions. Over 100 selections are new to this edition. “Cultural Portfolios”-together with thoroughly revised period introductions-provide students with historical background and cultural depth that give a richness and range to the study of American literature.

From the Back Cover: A richly diverse gathering of new and familiar voices, on subjects new and old, The Harper Single Volume American Literature takes the reader on a journey through America's literary past and ever-projecting future. Eleven cultural portfolios provide windows into historic moments in our literary past and present; superbly informative and readable period introductions further deepen the reader's understanding of the America from which this literature evolved. Five great plays, an unprecedented wealth of complete works, approximately one hundred carefully chosen black and white images - a collection both deeper and broader than other single volume anthologies. The Harper Single Volume American Literature, Third Edition has it all.
