Evenly divided into two volumes, it is also the first such anthology to be conceived and published for both classroom and online education in the new millennium. The first volume explores literature up to 1920 and the second, literature since 1920. The contents result from extensive research on the needs of students and instructors, the cutting-edge developments in scholarship, and the expert guidance of Gene Andrew Jarrett and the diverse and distinguished advisory editors.

Essential analyses of style, genre, and artistic revolutions are present here, allowing each selection to retain its unique contribution even while locating it within collective movements.

For African Americanist scholars and teachers, this anthology is a long-awaited treasure. With its excellent period introductions, headnotes, textual annotations, a glossary and timeline that present the latest scholarship, this anthology responds to the contemporary moment. Along with what the editors calls a “scholarly and pedagogic ecosystem” that connects the print anthology with an entire audio and visual network of scholarship and pedagogy, this anthology is not only responding to, but creating, the contemporary study and teaching of African American literature.\"\u003cbr\u003e —\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eMary Helen Washington,\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eUniversity of Maryland\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e\"The Wiley-Blackwell Anthology of African American Literature is a welcome new intervention, full of strikingly fresh choices and featuring as many works in their entirety, and as many longer selections of major works, as possible.
