National Narratives and the Politics of Inclusion: Historicizing American Literature Anthologies

Joe Lockard ; Jillian Sandell

Abstract

This essay discusses the history of American literature anthologies from the early nineteenth century to the late twentieth century; examines their racial and gender inclusions and exclusions; and argues that literary anthologies have played an important role in the production of the American, and more recently multicultural, national narrative.
