This volume examines a selection of overlooked works by well-known American literary figures. While many people are familiar with the major writings of Mark Twain, Toni Morrison, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Edith Wharton, and Richard Wright, a wide-range of less-celebrated novels, short stories, essays, and poems has often been left out of classroom discussions. The texts in this volume cover the colonial period to the present, and reflect a broad spectrum of styles, genres, and historical perspectives. Focusing on 70 eclectic and lesser-known works by American writers, this book situates each text within its historical and biographical context while also highlighting its literary qualities and modern relevance. The authors draw from archival material and author commentary, aiming to broaden readers' engagement with American literature by centralizing works that have previously been marginalized despite their artistic merit and enduring significance.
