Rezensionen

"Expansive, instructive, fascinating and surprising, this magnificent anthology is pieced together with superb editorial judgment and offers insights on every page. Here is a rich, many-voiced literary tradition unfolding across the centuries in all its exhilarating diversity and unmatched power. Certain to become seminal and essential, this is a treasure that belongs on all our bookshelves."
--Zoe Trodd, University of Nottingham
"Gene Jarrett's new anthology incisively surveys the development of a national literature. It intelligently charts its progression through more than 250 years, thus rendering a great service to contemporary scholarship. By also presenting little-known works in volume one and lesser-heard voices in volume two, Jarrett provides a deft balance between what we now know and what we have yet to explore."
--Nathan l Grant, African American Review
