Smith Mae Miller Claxton Susan BunnPublisher Prentice HallContents by Chapter (in brief)Preface ..xxix PREFACE (in brief)For the instructor or students surveying the literature of the United States in a single academic quarter or semester Concise Anthology of American Literature offers a practical alternative to the extended two-volume Anthology of American Literature. It also provides a convenient collection of American poetry drama fiction and other prose for use in a two-semester or three-quarter survey course in conjunction with a collection of separate novels or in other works.The criteria by which works are included in Concise Anthology of American Literature are the same as those for the parent text which are that the works should be of significant literary and cultural significance in the history of American letters. The briefer anthology however must discriminate even more carefully that its longer companion simply because it cannot contain an equal number of important selections especially those selections that consist of long works presented in their entireties. It must achieve a balance between including works of the highest literary and cultural significance while regretfully omitting longer works in the name of practicality.The Literature of Colonial America ..1CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS ..13(1451 1506)Columbus s Letter describing His First Voyage ..15CAPTAIN JOHN SMITH ..22(1580 1631)NATIVE AMERICAN VOICES ..37WILLIAM BRADFORD ..52(1590 1657JOHN WINTHROP ..68(1588 1649FROM The Journal of John WinthropThe Bay Psalm Book ..79FROM The Bay Psalm BookThe New England Primer ..82(c. 1683)FROM The New England PrimerANNE BRADSTREET ..89(1612 to 1672)The Prologue ..91Contemplations ..92The Flesh and the Spirit ..99The Author to Her Book ..102Before the Birth of One of Her Children ..102To My Dear and Loving Husband ..103A Letter to Her Husband ..103In Reference to Her Children ..104In Memory of my Dear Grandchild ..106On My Dear Grandchild ..107Upon the Burning of Our House ..107EDWARD TAYLOR ..109(c. 1642 1729SAMUEL SEWALL ..125(1652 -1730)MARY ROWLANDSON ..136(c. 1637 1711)WILLIAM BYRD II ..154(1674 1744)JONHATHAN EDWARDS ..159(1703 1758)THE LITERATURE OF REASON AND REVOLUTIONBENJAMIN FRANKLIN ..195(1706 1790)MICHEL- GUILLAUME- JEANE DE CREVECOEUR ..322(1735 1813)THOMAS PAINE ..337(1737 1809)THOMAS JEFFERSON ..347(1743 1826)The Federalist ..367(1787 1788)PHYLLIS WHEATLY ..377(1754 1784)PHILLIP FRENEAU ..385(1752 1832)WILLIAM BARTRAM ..395(1739 1823)NATIVE AMERICAN VOICES II ..412THE AGE OF ROMATICISM ..439WASHINGTON IRVING ..445(1783 1859)THOMAS BANGS THORPE ..490(1815 1878)JAMES FENIMORE COOPER ..499(1789 1851)WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT ..542(1794-1878)EDGAR ALLEN POE ..551(1809 1849)RALPH WALDO EMERSON ..612(1802 1882)NATHINEL HAWTHORN ..682(1804 1864)HERMAN MELVILLE ..715(1819- 1891)HENRY DAVID THOREAU ..808(1817-1862)HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW ..919(1817 1862)JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER ..928(1802 1892)JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL ..935(1819-1891)HARRIET BEECHER STOWE ..952(1811 -1896FREDERICK DOUGLASS ..993(1817 1895)ABRAHAM LINCOLN ..1012(1809 1865)WALT WHITMAN ..1016(1819 -1892)EMILY DICKENSON ..1123(1830 1886)The Age of Realism ..1143MARY E.
