商品簡介
Something of a companion volume to the 1988 Columbia literary history of the United States (also edited by Elliott), but with the geographic scope broadened to include chapters on Canadian, Caribbean, and Latin American fiction. The approach is broadly chronological, and all of the major authors are thoroughly covered, but a diverse group of critics and scholars also take a variety of approaches to such topics as popular culture, realism, colonialism, discussions of lesbian and gay authors, romance, and modernism and postmodernism. A stimulating new take on many themes of current interest and importance. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
