From Puritanism to Postmodernism: A History of American LiteratureViking, 1991 - 455 Seiten In this new study of American literature from the founding fathers through 1990, the authors touch on all the major and many of the minor works in the context of both their contemporary literary traditions and modern iconoclastic views.
