The anthologies appear in chronological order. The changing selections of authors and works, as well as the changing identities of the editors and editorial boards listed on title pages offer insights about the creative writers, scholars, and institutions that guide the formations of the American literary canon and help to define the concepts of American culture that should be passed down from generation to generation.
