520			_a"Selections from American Poetry" by Various Authors is a collection of poems, likely compiled in the late 19th century, that features prominent American poets such as Edgar Allan Poe, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, James Russell Lowell, and John Greenleaf Whittier. The anthology highlights themes including national identity, the beauty of nature, personal introspection, and historical events, allowing readers to explore the rich tapestry of American poetic expression through various lenses. The opening of the anthology begins with an introduction that discusses the status of American poetry, tracing its evolution from Puritan influences to more contemporary expressions. It addresses the challenges of early American poets in capturing their unique experiences and emotions while acknowledging the impact of their British literary predecessors. Through a series of excerpts from renowned works, such as Anne Bradstreet's contemplative verses and Michael Wigglesworth's somber "The Day of Doom," the introduction sets up the context for the diverse themes and styles that will be illustrated throughout the collection. It emphasizes how poetry has become a vehicle for expressing the core values of American life, capturing both individual and shared experiences across different eras.
