For courses in the American short story, as well as American literature survey and American studies, A Nation's Voice focuses on context by placing stories in sections like Voices of Gender so students read the works not as isolated literary events, but as manifestations of common themes. Features: * Approximately half the selections include commentary by the authors, arranged under the common heading The Writer's Voice. * Coverage of Regionalism is uniquely arranged by American geography: New England, The South, The West, and Country and City. * More than one-third of the readings are written by women. * Covers the canon without neglecting contemporary writers. * Concluding secton, Ways of Understanding the Text, examines and demnstrates the range of traditional and current critical methodology.
