The Norton Anthology of American Literature 8e – Volume A: Beginnings to 1820

Very good

The book is very bulky in size, but it covers a wide range of important American literary texts, many of which are difficult to purchase by itself. More importantly, it comes with an introduction to all the authors, introducing the reader to their political insights and social background which is extremely useful and relevant to the texts. E.g. Emerson Thoreau, and their transcendentalist views probably explain everything about their texts.My one critique would simply be the paper quality. Though it is understandable why such thin paper has to be used, but it makes highlighting, and note taking extremely frustrating. I had to purchase a separate copy of The Scarlet Letter, simply because of the insufficient space left for us to note-take.
