Covering American literature from its pre-contact Indigenous beginnings through the Reconstruction period, the first two volumes of The Broadview Anthology of American Literature represent a substantial reconceiving of the canon of early American literature. Guided by the latest scholarship in American literary studies, and deeply committed to inclusiveness, social responsibility, and rigorous contextualization, the anthology balances representation of widely agreed-upon major works with an emphasis on American literature’s diversity, variety, breadth, and connections with the rest of the Americas. Highlights of Volume A: Beginnings to 1820 • Complete texts of Mary Rowlandson’s captivity narrative and Hannah Webster Foster’s The Coquette • In-depth Contexts sections on such topics as “Slavery and Resistance,” “Rebellions and Revolutions,” and “Print Culture and Popular Literature” • Broader and more extensive coverage of Indigenous oral and visual literature than in competing anthologies • Full author sections in the anthology devoted not only to frequently anthologized figures but also to authors such as Anne Hutchinson, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, and Briton Hammon

Everyone likes a routine, or at least the familiarity of one, and Jason is no exception. He and his friends have been frequenting the same pub on the same night ever since college. Unfortunately, life has a way of getting in the way of such traditions, what with careers, weddings, kids...then one night, it happens: Jason finds himself sitting alone at the group’s table, wondering just what the hell happened. Luckily, he doesn’t have to wonder alone for long. Another regular fixture at the pub soon introduces himself, and in the first of many philosophical conversations, the two of them spent the evening contemplating the meaning of existence. And it couldn’t come at a better time. Jason’s life is about to get turned upside down. After finally building up the courage to ask out the beautiful girl in the elevator, after months of inane pleasantries, he is thrust unexpectedly into a pressure-filled and ethically questionable position at work—one that draws him and his new love into a whirlwind of corporate intrigue, espionage, and betrayal.
