The Heath Anthology of American Literature: Volume E (Health Anthology of American Literature)
The reason I chose to use the Heath Anthology is because it strikes a very good balance between ethnicities, men, women, and canonical and non-canonical authors. I have used it since 2002 for these reasons. The introductions to the sections are also very good for students because the introductions stress the social, economic, and political happenings of the period."Volume E adopts an effective blend of authors representative of different colors, cultures, and gender in its selections.
