About the authors
Nina Baym taught at the University of Illinois, where she specialized in American Literature. She is General Editor of the Norton Anthology of American Literature, the most widely used textbook in the field. She has won Guggenheim, National Endowment for the Humanities, and Mellon Foundation fellowships. In 2000 she won the Jay Hubbell Award from the Modern Language Association, awarded for lifetime contributions to the study of American literature. Her first book was about Nathaniel Hawthorne, and she has published a Twayne study of The Scarlet Letter. Hawthorne's complaint in a private letter about the "damn'd mob of scribbling women," whose works were popular while his were not inspired her to find out who these forgotten women were and what they wrote. The first of her books on this topic was Woman's Fiction (1978); then came American Women Writers and the Work of History; next American Women of Letters and the Nineteenth-Century Sciences. Some of her essays were brought together in Feminism and American Literary History. Her newest foray is Women Writers of the American West, 1833-1927, which describes the western books of over 340 American women including Native American women and African Americans, and covers the transMississippi West from Texas to Oregon.
Robert S. Levine is Distinguished University Professor at the University of Maryland, College Park. He works in nineteenth-century American literary and cultural studies with a special interest in Herman Melville and Frederick Douglass. His website is go.umd.edu/robertslevine

5.0 out of 5 stars Love, Love, Love!
Verified PurchaseI'm more than happy and satisfied with this purchase! I bought a used copy from Mortuusbooks, which was listed as "good," but I swear it could have been listed as very good! This has made me excited to read more older literature instead of what I usually read. I am highly appreciative of the used copy I purchased. I would say it's the best used book I have purchased in my life. Mortuusbooks, if you see this, thank you so much!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Purchase!
Verified PurchaseIf you are needing your textbooks for school Juniper Branch is the best route to go! They are family owned, and they ship immediately! I was getting my used books through my school, but the one's I have ordered from JB have all been in excellent condition and are much cheaper! I highly recommend buying from Juniper Branch, and they deserve ten stars! Also, the packaging was fantastic and it included a sweet remark from the buyers "Dream Big!"
