Concise Anthology of Amer.lit.

An expanded chronological chart and interaction time line help readers associate literary works with historical, political, technological, and cultural developments. Other coverage includes a continued emphasis on cultural plurality, including the contributions to the American literary canon made by women and minority authors, and a reflection of the changing nature of the canon of American Literature. For anyone who likes to read the writings of American Literature--and wants to understand the connection between those words and their place in American history.McMichael, George is the author of 'Concise Anthology of Amer.lit.' with ISBN 9780023795619 and ISBN 0023795611.
