The new \u003cem\u003eBroadview\u003c\/em\u003e, while still weighty, does not feel crammed. It uses double columns and wide pages to make the text seem almost inviting. I might pick this text over others on that basis alone, hoping it would lessen students' dread when they start to read. But beyond a better feel, the double column [format] also enables comparisons of related texts and side-by-side translations... A change in format may seem small, but it makes a big difference....\u003cbr\u003e Several principles of selection [have been used]... keeping the most-taught texts, adding space for once-popular authors..., and pushing forward some writers who [the editors] believe 'deserve to be more widely taught' or who 'have been unjustly neglected.' The end result is an extraordinary display of the well-known and the little-considered. To make space for so much material, the anthology includes a large website portion, edited like the physical text. Altogether, the anthology offers a remarkable collection with good online teaching aids, stunning visuals, and a powerful emphasis on the inclusion of voices from every part of America. ...\u003cbr\u003e [T]he history that comes to the fore in this anthology is the history most needed now....\u003cbr\u003e ...

Richly illustrated, with deep attention to such concerns as race, gender, class, and sexual orientation, and expertly edited and annotated, this anthology stands out above all others for its ability to make the case not only that surveys of American literature are still worth teaching but also that teaching these surveys remains essential, productive, and meaningful educational work.\"\u003cbr\u003e -- \u003cstrong\u003eJohn Earnest, University of Delaware, in \u003cem\u003eAmerican Periodicals\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n","brand":"Broadview Press Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47448940478595,"sku":"9781039301573","price":111.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/6830\/8099\/files\/9781039301573.jpg?v=1783319330","url":"https:\/\/sebink.com\/products\/the-broadview-anthology-of-american-literature-volumes-a-b-beginnings-to-reconstruction","provider":"Sebink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
