Covering American literature from its pre-contact Indigenous beginnings through the Reconstruction period, the first two volumes of The Broadview Anthology of American Literature represent a substantial reconceiving of the canon of early American literature. Guided by the latest scholarship in American literary studies, and deeply committed to inclusiveness, social responsibility, and rigorous contextualization, the anthology balances representation of widely agreed-upon major works with an emphasis on American literature’s diversity, variety, breadth, and connections with the rest of the Americas. Highlights of Volume A: Beginnings to 1820 • Complete texts of Mary Rowlandson’s captivity narrative and Hannah Webster Foster’s The Coquette • In-depth Contexts sections on such topics as “Slavery and Resistance,” “Rebellions and Revolutions,” and “Print Culture and Popular Literature” • Broader and more extensive coverage of Indigenous oral and visual literature than in competing anthologies • Full author sections in the anthology devoted not only to frequently anthologized figures but also to authors such as Anne Hutchinson, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, and Briton Hammon

The Broadview Anthology of American Literature Volume A: Beginnings to 1820

Erik and his friends thought things would finally calm down. But one night at François Manor, a large group of Mystic Artists show up and proclaim that Erik is a fabled person called The White Prince! At that same moment, a teenager over 200 years old named Valin accuses Erik of usurping the royal title and claims that he is The White Prince! Erik doesn't care about Valin's claim, until a second stranger, a beautiful woman who holds a deep, tragic secret, starts casting illusions over Zoë Dominique! Erik realizes they must be connected. As he uncovers layers of their past, Erik discovers the woman is on an ancient quest to bring back Prince Vartan, a beloved prince from thousands of years ago. He and his entire kingdom of Vitalonia were tragically destroyed by a jealous evil. Now that evil has returned and it is only The White Prince who is strong enough to stop it! The more Erik learns about The White Prince, the more he resists that such a person could be he. But if it is, what does it truly mean?
