American Literature is a comprehensive and authoritative guide to the history and development of American literature, written by Leon Kellner. The book covers the major literary movements and periods in American literature, from the colonial period through the present day. It features detailed analyses of the works of major American authors such as Edgar Allan Poe, Mark Twain, William Faulkner, and Toni Morrison, among many others. The book is organized chronologically, with each chapter focusing on a particular period or movement in American literature. Kellner provides historical context and cultural background for each period, and examines the major literary themes and styles of the time. He also discusses the social and political issues that influenced the literature of each period, and how writers responded to these issues in their work. American Literature is an essential resource for students and scholars of American literature, as well as anyone interested in the history and culture of the United States. It is written in a clear and accessible style, and includes helpful features such as chapter summaries, study questions, and a glossary of literary terms. Overall, it is a comprehensive and engaging survey of the rich and diverse tradition of American literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
