This review is from: American Sea Writing: A Literary Anthology (Library of America) (Hardcover)
A terrific collection of stories and tales and poems about the sea, from all the usual suspects plus some you might not have thought of--Thoreau, for example, on the wreak of an immigrant ship, or Langston Hughes on his trip on an old cargo ship to Africa--and some you won't have read but really should--like Fanny Kemble's diary notes on her trip "over" to the new world, and what the weather was like, how the food was, who she met and what they spoke of . . . this is a magnificant collection of American authors.

This review is from: American Sea Writing: A Literary Anthology (Library of America) (Hardcover)
Finding this terrific anthology is like unearthing a treasure chest filled with the most precious materials. I am currently using it as a required book in my Rutgers University--Newark course "American Literature and the Marine Environment," and I couldn't be more pleased with the tremendous variety it offers.
