The Cambridge History of American Literature, Vol. 2: Prose Writing, 1820-1865

The Cambridge History of American Literature, Vol. 2: Prose Writing, 1820-1865 By Sacvan Bercovitch
1995 | 881 Pages | ISBN: 0521301068 | PDF | 157 MB


The narratives in this volume make for a four-fold perspective on literature: social, cultural, intellectual, and aesthetic; they constitute a basic reassessment of American prose-writing between 1820 and 1865. These narratives place the American literature in an international context, while never losing sight of its distinctive American characteristics, whether colonial, provincial, or national. Together, they offer a compelling and comprehensive revision of the literary importance of early American history and the historical value of early American literature.
