The Heath Anthology of American Literature
Unrivaled diversity and ease of use have made THE HEATH ANTHOLOGY OF AMERICAN LITERATURE: VOLUME E: CONTEMPORARY PERIOD (1945 TO THE PRESENT), Seventh Edition, a best-selling text since 1989, when the first edition was published. In presenting a more inclusive canon of American literature, THE HEATH ANTHOLOGY OF AMERICAN LITERATURE: VOLUME E: CONTEMPORARY PERIOD (1945 TO THE PRESENT), Seventh Edition, continues to balance the traditional, leading names in American literature with lesser-known writers. Available in five volumes for greater flexibility, the seventh edition offers thematic groupings of readings, called "In Focus," to stimulate classroom discussions and showcase the treatment of important topics across the genres.
The Unpossessed
   The first depiction of radical chic in fiction, The Unpossessed (1934) follows a group of Greenwich Village intellectuals engaged in founding a magazine. In relating the stories of three couples, the novel raises questions that still torment women and men today: Is marriage a viable institution? Should one bear children in hard times? Does sexuality destroy the possibility of significant political action? And what is the political responsibility of intellectuals?
The Concise Heath Anthology of American Literature
THE CONCISE HEATH ANTHOLOGY OF AMERICAN LITERATURE, Volume 1: BEGINNINGS TO 1865, Second Edition, brings the expansive, inclusive approach of Volumes A and B of THE HEATH ANTHOLOGY to a single-volume format. While other one-volume editions anthologize primarily familiar canonical works, the new CONCISE HEATH, Volume 1, offers a fresh perspective on American literature by showcasing the extraordinary diversity of literature written between the beginnings of the cultures of the "Americas" and 1865.
