A Scholarly Review of American World Literature From Early Times to the Postmodernist Era
American World Literature: An Introduction explores how the subject of American Literature has evolved from a national into a global phenomenon. As the author, - a noted expert on the topic - explains, today's American Literature engages with the wider world rather than remaining focused on local circumstances.
The author examines how the perception of American culture has changed significantly over time and how this has become the object of widespread social and political debate. From examples of early American literature to postmodernism, this new text charts the ways in which the academic subject areas of American Literature and World Literature have converged - and diverged - over the past generations.
Written for students of American literature at both undergraduate and postgraduate level and in all areas of historical specialization, American World Literature offers an authoritative guide to the global phenomena of American World literature. |
