  <default_description>&quot;From the inception of &lt;I&gt;The Norton Anthology of American Literature&lt;/I&gt;, three goals have been paramount: first, to present a variety of works rich and substantial enough to enable teachers to build their own courses according to their own ideals; second, to make the anthology self-sufficient by featuring many works in their entirety and longer selections so that individual authors can be covered in depth; and third, to balance traditional interests with developing critical concerns.&quot;&amp;#151;Nina Baym, General Editor, from the Preface  &lt;P&gt;Now in its Sixth Edition, &lt;I&gt;The Norton Anthology of American Literature&lt;/I&gt; remains the enduring market leader. The new Shorter Sixth Edition shares with its parent volumes the commitment to broadening the canon while maintaining a representative balance of American literature.  &lt;P&gt;Thoroughly revised and tailored especially to the one-semester course, the Shorter Sixth Edition builds on the classroom strengths of flexibility, depth, and balance in a strong revision.</default_description>
