A scholarly review of American world literature from early times to
the postmodernist era American World Literature: An Introduction
explores how the subject of American Literature has evolved from a
national into a global phenomenon. As the author, Paul Giles - a
noted expert on the topic - explains, today American Literature is
understood as engaging with the wider world rather than merely with
local or national circumstances. The book offers an examination of
these changing conceptions of representation in both a critical and
an historical context. The author examines how the perception of
American culture has changed significantly over time and how this
has been an object of widespread social and political debate. From
examples of early American literature to postmodernism, the book
charts ways in which the academic subject areas of American
Literature and World Literature have converged - and diverged -
over the past generations. Written for students of American
literature at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels and in all
areas of historical specialization, American World Literature
offers an authoritative guide to global phenomena of American World
literature and how this subject has undergone crucial changes in
perception over the past thirty years.
