Threads of Change in 19th Century American Literature

3rd Edition Online Resources

 

Threads of Change focuses on literature of the 19th century to explore five historical movements: romanticism, transcendentalism, abolitionism, industrialism, and feminism. Each of the five “isms” has its own “literature box” containing appropriate documents to serve as a resource for teams of students. The “isms” are investigated as change agents in American life through the study of key writings of the period. To purchase this curriculum unit, please go to Kendall Hunt's website.
