37 COMPLETE LONGER WORKS
The Norton Anthology of American Literature includes more major works than any other anthology of American literature. The ninth edition offers 37 complete longer texts of which 2-Long Day's Journey into Night and A Streetcar Named Desire-are exclusives and 3-Nella Larsen's Passing, Abraham Cahan's Yekl: A Tale of the New York Ghetto and Nathanael West's The Day of the Locust-are newly added.
NEW SELECTIONS, HIGHLIGHTED BY 8 NEW CONTEMPORARY WRITERS
The ninth edition introduces 13 new authors, among them 8 contemporary writers-Lydia Davis, George Saunders, Don DeLillo, Philip K. Dick, Tracy K. Smith, Edward P. Jones, Frank Bidart and Natasha Trethewey-as well as classic writers like Constance Fenimore Woolson, Patricia Highsmith, Nathanael West, John Rollin Ridge and Thomas Harriot. Selections for a host of frequently assigned authors-Hawthorne, Irving, Poe, Melville, Dickinson, Twain, Chesnutt, Du Bois, Hurston, Hemingway, Steinbeck, Kerouac and many others-have been revised and refreshed in light of instructors' requests.
FIVE NEW LECTURE-LENGTH CONTEXTUAL CLUSTERS
Designed to be teachable in a class period or two, these groupings of short texts focus on cultural issues and literary forms and movements. New clusters include "Science and Technology in the Pre-Civil War Nation", "Becoming an American in the Gilded Age", "Voices of Native America", "Varieties of Religious Experience", and "Ethnographic and Naturalist Writings".
THE APPARATUS YOU TRUST-EXTENSIVELY REVISED FOR CONTEMPORARY STUDENTS
Under the direction of new General Editor Robert Levine, the editors have made root-and-branch improvements to apparatus across the volumes to reflect both new scholarship and changing classroom interests. Period introductions and many headnotes have been extensively revised; hundreds of annotations and glosses fine-tuned; and bibliographies carefully updated.
UNBEATABLE VALUE
Instructors can allow students to choose between the print text and the ebook-or they can give students access to both by packaging the ebook with the print anthology at no additional cost.
