Help Expand the Anthology

The  Open Anthology of Earlier American Literature is an open textbook that began as a project by Robin DeRosa, professor at Plymouth State University, and her students, who were looking for a cost-savings anthology for their classroom. Now, thanks to the guidance of lead editor, Timothy Robbins, assistant professor of English at Graceland University, collaborators from institutions around the U.S., and support from the Rebus Community, the  anthology has since expanded to include more texts, and is now available for use in Early American Literature survey courses.

While the anthology is quite comprehensive, there are some remaining sections that require an author introduction or excerpts of public domain texts. If you can help fill in these gaps, please  let us know in the Rebus Project platform.
