poems, and discussion questions at the end of each chapter. The "National

Fenimore Cooper, Philip Freneau, William Cullen Bryant, Edgar Allan Poe, and
Nathaniel Hawthorne. The "Romanticism and Reason" section discusses Ralph
Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Herman Melville, Henry Wadsworth
Longfellow, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Mark Twain, Stephen Crane, and
Henry James, "The American Short Story: 19th Century Developments" section
discusses Ambrose Bierce, Stephen Crane, Edgar Allan Poe, and Frank R.
Stockton. The "Realism and Reaction" section discusses Theodore Dreiser,
Edwin Arlington Robinson, Carl Sandburg, Sinclair Lewis, Henry L. Mencken, F.
Scott Fitzgerald, and John Steinbeck. The "Modern Voices in Prose and Poetry"
section discusses Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, Robert Frost, Archibald
Macleish, William Carlos Williams, Langston Hughes, Katherine Ann Porter,
Saul Bellow, Ralph Ellison, Robert Lowell, Theodore Roethke, Randall Jarrell,
