内容简介
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 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.
Two thematic clusters, "America in the European Imagination" and "Cultural Encounters: A Critical Survey" explore imaginary European constructions of a yet untouched American landscape. In addition, the new cluster, "On Nature and Nature's God," examines the shift from a reliance on religious faith to the use of reason and the scientific method. "On The Discourse of Liberty" surveys the notions and realities of American independence.
