"From the inception
of The Norton Anthology of American Literature, three goals have been paramount:
first, to present a variety of works rich and substantial enough to enable teachers
to build their own courses according to their own ideals; second, to make the
anthology self-sufficient by featuring many works in their entirety and longer
selections so that individual authors can be covered in depth; and third, to
balance traditional interests with developing critical concerns."
--Nina Baym, General Editor, from the Preface
Leading the field with
over 1,640 college and university adoptions worldwide, the Sixth Edition builds
on the classroom strengths of flexibility, depth, and balance in a strong revision
and a new, more portable and readable format. There are several anthologies
of American Literature. Only one is a Norton.
