A vivid snapshot of America's kaleidoscopic literary tradition, A
Journey Through American Literature illuminates the authors, works,
and events that have shaped our cultural heritage. Kevin J. Hayes
charts this history through a series of approachable thematic
chapters-Narrative Voice and the Short Story, the Drama of the
Everyday, the Great American Novel-that reveal the richness of our
literature while providing a compelling set of footholds with which
to engage it. Among the topics covered are the role of travel and
the symbolism of geography, characters and the importance of voice
and dialect, self-definition and the American dream, new
beginnings, and the role of memory. Hayes not only discusses the
main canonical genres like poetry, drama, and the novel, but also
looks at travel writing, autobiography, and frame tales. Key
writers like Mark Twain, Ralph Ellison, Emily Dickinson, and
Harriet Jacobs are central players in the drama while dozens more
create a backdrop that gives this history depth. The book also
features over 20 illustrations, a bibliography, and a chronology
listing the key events and work in America's literary history.
