Opis

First published between 1982 and 1983, this series examines the peculiarly American cultural context out of which the nation s literature has developed. Covering the years from 1620 to 1930, these four volumes present a coherent, consecutive and comprehensive sequence of interpretations of major American texts, including fiction, non-fiction, poetry and drama. Every chapter includes an extract from the chosen text which serves as a springboard for wider discussion and analysis. Each analysis demonstrates how students can move into and then from the pages of literature to a consideration of the whole text, and thence to an understanding of the author s oeuvre and of the cultural moment in which he or she lived and wrote. This set will be a valuable resource for students of American literature and American studies. "
