Overview
Leading the field with over 1,640 college and university adoptions worldwide, the Sixth Edition builds on the classroom strengths of flexibility, depth, and balance in a strong revision and a new, more portable and readable format. There are several anthologies of American Literature. Only one is a Norton.
"From the inception of The Norton Anthology of American Literature, three goals have been paramount: first, to present a variety of works rich and substantial enough to enable teachers to build their own courses according to their own ideals; second, to make the anthology self-sufficient by featuring many works in their entirety and longer selections so that individual authors can be covered in depth; and third, to balance traditional interests with developing critical concerns."
—Nina Baym, General Editor, from the Preface
Shorter Sixth Edition also available
