Reviews / Votes
"The journal American Literature was founded in 1929 and since that time has regularly published important articles on the study of literature in the United States. Many of the articles that appeared in the journal have, in fact, become the 'standard view' or 'the final word' on a particular literary subject. . . . The series will be an important acquisition for every college library." - Choice "The articles in each volume are presented in the order of their first appearance in American Literature, and each opens a fresh line of inquiry, establishes a fresh perspective on a familiar topic, or settles a question that engaged the interest of experts. The selections are the most enduring work still useful for the study and teaching of important literary figures, or of an intellectual movement, motif, or genre. They represent the full range of thought from the scholarship that created the discipline and upon which much of the current work rests." -Dorys Crow Grover, Western American LiteratureMore details
