BOOKS CONTAINING WORK BY AUM STUDENTS RECOMMENDED IN STANDARD ANTHOLOGIES

Books containing scholarly work by students at AUM are recommended for use by students elsewhere in a number of recent editions of widely-adopted anthologies of literature.

The newest edition of The Norton Anthology of Literature by Women (NALW) reprints the text of a seventeenth-century autobiographical poem titled “The Memorandum of Martha Moulsworth, Widow.” Moulsworth’s poem has been the subject of three different books containing work by AUM faculty and students. Two of those books are recommended by the editors of NAWL, including one that contains work by AUM alumnus Neil Probst, who is currently a staff writer with the national magazine of the Civil Air Patrol. Moulsworth’s poem was also included in the seventh edition of The Norton Anthology of English Literature.

Meanwhile, two books containing work by more than a hundred former students at AUM are recommended by the editors of the seventh edition of The Norton Anthology of American Literature (NAAL). The books, which deal with American authors Kate Chopin and Ambrose Bierce, are among select titles recommended in bibliographies at the end of volume I of NAAL.

Finally, the book on Chopin is also recommended by the editors of the ninth edition of Prentice Hall’s Anthology of American Literature.

The recommendation of these books by the editors of the various anthologies means that scholarship done by students at AUM will be assisting the further scholarly work of students at many other campuses throughout the U.S. and abroad.
