Description
"A must-have for any educator in charge of teaching the subject and for community library education collections." Midwest Book Review "This volume argues very powerfully that nineteenth-century American poetry encompasses much more than Whitman and Dickinson. This is an indispensable book and will be useful to both new and experienced instructors who wish to include nineteenth-century American poetry in their classes." --Camille Roman, editor, The New Anthology of American Poetry
