Examines how our literature reflects an ever-shifting American identity

By Richard Gray. A leading authority examines how the broad sweep of American literature reflects the forging of an ever-shifting American identity. Gray points out main themes, relates literary works to their cultural context, measures the contributions of major and secondary authors, and also assesses counter-canonical contributions from neglected writers and genres: Native American, Anglo American, African American, Asian American, and Hispanic American writers; oral literature, folktales, spirituals, the blues, the western, the detective story, the thriller, and science fiction. Advanced students or teacher resource. Index. Suggested readings. Blackwell. Approximately 900 pages. ©2011.literatureresources
