I have a new found love for anthologies, and was glad I was assigned two of them for this semester. (This one &amp; Volume C). I'll probably read ahead and just flip through it.For class "American Romanticism Through Realism" Have ReadRip Van Winkle by Washington IrvingThe Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington IrvingNature by EmersonSelf-Reliance by EmersonRappaccini's Daughter by Nathaniel Hawthorne (loved it!) The Birth Mark by Nathaniel Hawthorne Ligeia by Edgar Allan PoeThe Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe Narrative of Life by Frederick Douglass The Paradise of Bachelors and the Tartarus of Maids by Herman MelvilleWe've finished with this anthology for the semester, I believe and are moving onto Volume C after we read Leaves of Grass.

The Norton Anthology of American Literature, Vol. B: 1820 to 1865

Firmly grounded in the core strengths that have made it the best-selling undergraduate survey in the field, The Norton Anthology of American Literature has been revitalized in this Seventh Edition through the collaboration between three new period editors and five seasoned ones. Under Nina Baym’s direction, the editors have considered afresh each selection and all the apparatus to make the anthology an even better teaching tool.
