Description
This reader collects essays taken from the first five years of the American Literary History (published by OUP). The journals has produced an exciting body of work representing the full range of American literary critical practices at a time when no consensus in the field exists. This collection shows how the journal has helped to shape the way American literature is currently studied and gives access to readers of essays from the journal's early years.
Reviews / Votes
An important and especially wide-ranging collection of essays that will provide good critical perspective in American literature surveys as well as a fine introduction to historical criticism in courses on criticism. * Rex Burns, University of Colorado at Denver *More details
