The Heath Anthology of American Literature, Volume D: Modern Period 1910 - 1945

Viac o knihe

Unrivaled diversity and teachability have made The Heath Anthology a best-selling text since the publication of its first edition in 1989. In presenting a more inclusive canon of American literature, The Heath Anthology continues to balance the traditional, leading names in American literature with lesser-known writers and to build upon the anthology's other strengths: its apparatus and its ancillaries. Available in five volumes for greater flexibility, the Fifth Edition offers new thematic clusters to stimulate classroom discussions and to show the treatment of important topics across the genres. The indispensable web site includes revised timelines, a multimedia gallery to support thematic clusters, and a searchable Instructor's Guide. The cluster, "Modernism, Lyric Poetry, Facts," includes poems that challenge the traditional sense of "modernism" as happening with only a few writers in a certain style. Selections by authors such as Theodore Dreiser, Willa Cather, and Gary Snyder allow students to see the ferment of modern experimentalism in American literature.
