Heath Anthology of American Literature Concise

This new anthology brings the expansive, inclusive approach of the two-volume Heath to the single-volume format. While other one-volume texts continue to anthologize primarily canonical works, the new Heath Concise offers a fresh perspective for the course, based on the successful hallmarks of the two-volume set. The selected works represent the most culturally diverse table of contents available in a one-volume format. A wealth of historical and cultural context material helps illuminate the literary works. A broad range of literary forms includes sermons, songs, and letters. Engaging Headnotes and Section Introductions provide students with background information. Mini-thematic units and an archive of Heath Newsletter articles
