Review # 1 was written on 2011-08-15 00:00:00 Charles Sislian As far as anthologies needed for school it was a'ight. most of the stories in here are super racist stories by super racist people, which is appropriate for the time period this anthology covers. That doesn't mean I had any enjoyment while reading them.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-09-16 00:00:00 Michael Helmer A wonderful introduction to many great authors, some well known, others very obscure. It's also well done thematically as it moves through different literary movements gracefully. If I could think of one critcism it would be that the bios of authors take a critical point of view sometimes and I don't think it's fair to the authors or the students. Even though it may be a widely held opinion that, for instance, Dos Passos never reached the heights of his earlier work after his political leanings changed, I don't think it's a textbook's place to include such a judgment. But still, even though my reading in this book for the semester is over, I fully intend to return to it in the future to explore even more of the greats contained within.
