The Wiley Blackwell Anthology of African American Literature Set

"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
