This ambitious literary history traces the American novel from its
emergence in the late eighteenth century to its diverse
incarnations in the multi-ethnic, multi-media culture of the
present day. In a set of original essays by renowned scholars from
all over the world, the volume extends important critical debates
and frames new ones. Offering new views of American classics, it
also breaks new ground to show the role of popular genres - such as
science fiction and mystery novels - in the creation of the
literary tradition. One of the original features of this book is
the dialogue between the essays, highlighting cross-currents
between authors and their works as well as across historical
periods. While offering a narrative of the development of the
genre, the History reflects the multiple methodologies that have
informed readings of the American novel and will change the way
scholars and readers think about American literary history.
