The Norton Anthology of American Literature

The coursepack includes all content from the StudySpace website, short-answer questions with suggested answers, and a bank of discussion questions adapted from the Course Guide.

This much-praised guide opens with detailed reading lists for a variety of approaches—the historical approach, the “major authors” approach, the literary traditions approach, and the approach by genre or theme. Each author/work entry offers teaching suggestions that call out interesting textual or contextual features, discussion questions, and suggestions for incorporating multimedia from the Instructor Resource Disc, the American Passages website, and other outside resources. A chapter of sample essay topics and exam questions completes the Guide. For the first time, the Guide will be available in a searchable online format. more

Lecture PowerPoints are available for each period introduction, every topic cluster, and for nearly thirty widely taught authors.

Approximately 200 images with explanatory captions are available for classroom use.
