Resources Instructor's Guide Edited by John Alberti, Northern Kentucky University 1994 950 pages est. Paper (32974-6) Designed to facilitate the integration of The Heath Anthology into the American literature survey course, the Instructor's Guide provides a range of materials to help instructors explore relationships among writers, periods, and schools within an expanded American literature canon. Each entry is by one of the more than two hundred scholars who serve as contributing editors to the anthology. Included are analysis and discussion of each writer and selection in the Second Edition; suggestions for teaching each writer in the context of both traditional and new writers; critical bibliographies; creative syllabi; and writing assignments. Pedagogical essays on a variety of interesting subjects provide provocative and challenging ways to use the text. Selections from Whitman and Dickinson The extensive offering of Whitman and Dickinson selections in The Heath Anthology, Second Edition, appear in Volume 1. If you would like to teach Whitman and Dickinson with Volume 2, however, we've created a simple way for you to do so. All of the Whitman and Dickinson selections from Volume 1 have been published in a 212-page paperback supplement which may be shrinkwrapped with Volume 2. To make certain your bookstore orders the correct item, specify The Heath Anthology of American Literature, Second Edition, Volume 2, with the Whitman/Dickinson supplement and use the ISBN (35303-5). If at any time you are using Volume 2 alone and would like to add the Whitman/Dickinson supplement to your order, use the ISBN (24998-X).
