For nearly half a century, James D. Hart's Oxford Companion to
American Literature has offered a matchless guided tour through
American literary culture, both past and present. Hart now presents
the first abridgement of the Companion in a paperback edition,
making the entries of the greatest general interest from the
original volume available to a much wider audience.
Compact and affordable, The Concise Oxford Companion to American
Literature contains over 2,000 entries, including brief biographies
of important authors, plot summaries of individual works,
descriptions of important literary movements, and a wealth of
information on other aspects of American literary life and history
from the Colonial period to the modern era. It devotes
approximately 325 of the biographical entries to contemporary
writers, introducing such newcomers to the Companion as William
Kennedy, Grace Paley, and Raymond Carver. The more specialized and
esoteric entries from the original have been omitted.
Like its predecessor, The Concise Oxford Companion contains a
thorough system of cross references to guide the reader to related
information on a given topic, as well as a chronological Index
outlining significant events in the literary and social history of
the United States.
