en-wikibooks-org-9812		American Literature - Wikibooks, open books for an open world			.html	text/html	513	84	62	American Literature Wikibooks, open books for an open world This project discusses the entire field of American Literature, meaning literature produced in the United States or written by authors whose primary residence or background is from the United States, starting with the earliest explorers and settlers and ending at the present time. The virtue of this format for presenting American Literature is that it is "thinner" than typical anthologies of the subject because it does not have to include entire original texts, but instead can link to them. This Wikibook, therefore, sets out to accomplish the third task of an American literature survey course textbook: to paint the picture of the trends in the periods of literature, and discuss how authors relate to one another. We provide the links to the works under discussion and urge the student to read enough of the work to obtain an appreciation for its intrinsic value.
