An innovative selection of major American Literature works, responsible edited to preserve the literary merit and cultural flavor of the original texts, represents as never before the scope and diversity of America's literary tradition. Evocative introductions by distinguished scholars and teachers provide the historical resonance and literary connections needed to make the works newly and fully accessible, from the literature of exploration to the writers of our moment. Beginning with the journals of Christopher Colombus; Chapters from all five books of The Leather-Stocking Tales precede the fullest presentation ever of the major authors of the American Renaissance. Emily Dickinson, Wallace Stevens, William Carlos Williams, and Robert Lowel are among the authors finally displayed in the entire range of their poetic careers. A unique section on the literature of contemporary America carries the tradition right up to the most recent experiments in poetry, prose, and drama- in some instances work specially chosen by its author for this volume

This respected, rhetorically-arranged reader shows students, through accessible language and remarkable literary examples, how underlying rhetorical structures stimulate and direct all clear thinking and effective writing. And while THINKING IN WRITING covers traditional rhetorical principles, it also reflects the contemporary and practical work being done on the interconnectedness of composition and cognition. The introductory chapter and the apparatus for each essay is designed to help students generate ideas and turn them into effective papers. The fourth edition provides an extraordinary update with over 70% new readings, new "thematically-paired" essays in each chapter, a new photo insert that shows the role of rhetoric and the construction of gender in rhetoric in advertising, and much much more.
