The New World and the New Book is a speech given by Thomas Wentworth Higginson before the Nineteenth Century Club of New York City in January 1891. In this address, Higginson discusses the impact of the discovery of the New World on literature and the creation of a new American literary tradition. He argues that the exploration and colonization of the Americas led to a shift in perspective and a new sense of possibility for writers, resulting in a unique American literary voice. Higginson also discusses the role of literature in shaping society and the importance of preserving and promoting American literature. This book provides insight into the literary and cultural climate of the late 19th century and the development 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.
