American Literature: The Rise of the Short Story

Greetings, students!

Enjoy these excellent short stories by Washington Irving and Edgar Allan Poe. If you have not experienced either of these authors before, you are in for a treat! Please remember to print them out and bring them to class for discussion; this will affect your participation grade.

"The Wife" by Washington Irving
"The Widow and Her Son" by Washington Irving
"Rip Van Winkle" by Washington Irving
"The Fall of the House of Usher" by Edgar Allan Poe

Enjoy!

Mrs. Stewart
