Book excerpt: Professors, students, and anyone who loves to read will want this fascinating and attractive volume. Beginning with great works from Antiquity to the Middle Ages, this literary timeline gallops from Mesopotamian pictograms and Julius Caesar’s Commentaries on the Gallic to Renaissance and Baroque masterworks by Machiavelli and Moli�re, and on to modernism. Along the way, it presents the birth of the novel, Gothic chills, Thomas Paine’s rabble-rousing, as well as landmark French and Russian authors, Emerson’s essays, and the first detective story by Poe. Victoriana, the Aesthetic Movement, Utopian Literature, and Naturalism make their appearance, all the way up to today’s Tom Stoppard and Tony Kushner. There’s a detailed introduction, plus color-coding to show whether a work is poetry, fiction, non-fiction, or drama.

Book Synopsis A History of Western American Literature by : Susan Kollin

Download or read book A History of Western American Literature written by Susan Kollin. This book was released on 2015-12-11. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American West is a complex region that has inspired generations of writers and artists. Often portrayed as a quintessential landscape that symbolizes promise and progress for a developing nation, the American West is also a diverse space that has experienced conflicting and competing hopes and expectations. While it is frequently imagined as a place enabling dreams of new beginnings for settler communities, it is likewise home to long-standing indigenous populations as well as many other ethnic and racial groups who have often produced different visions of the land. This History encompasses the intricacy of Western American literature by exploring myriad genres and cultural movements, from ecocriticism, settler colonial studies and transnational theory, to race, ethnic, gender and sexuality studies. Written by a host of leading historians and literary critics, this book offers readers insight into the West as a site that sustains canonical and emerging authors alike, and as a region that exceeds national boundaries in addressing long-standing global concerns and developments.
