America's multifaceted literary heritage reflects its deepest spiritual & material consciousness: rooted & rootless, rural & urban, timeless & ever-changing. Through a living literature, one comes to learn one's orientations, aspirations, & world-views: where we have come from & where we may be going. More than 10 years in the making, this comprehensive single-volume literary survey is for the student, scholar, & general reader. "The Continuum Encyclopedia of American Literature" represents a collaborative effort, involving 300 contributors from across the United States & Canada. Composed of more than 1,100 signed biographical-critical entries, this Encyclopedia serves as both guide & companion to the study & appreciation of American literature.A special feature is the topical article. There are 70 such essays in this volume, among them: African-American Literature, Canada, Children's Literature, the Detective Story, Drama, the Essay, Expatriates, Feminism, Film & Literature, Gay Male Literature, History & Literature, Humor, Jewish-American Literature, Latino/a Literature, Lesbian Literature, Literary Criticism (Before & Since 1914), Literary Journalism, Literary Prizes & Awards, Modernism, Politics & Literature, Religion & Literature, Science Fiction, the Short Story, the South, the Supernatural, Transcendentalism, Utopia, & Young Adult Literature. Wherever possible, references to authors of merit who do not receive individual articles are incorporated into the text of the most relevant topical essay. All topical & biographical-critical entries are cross-referenced and linked to the index. Select bibliographical material is included in most articles. Through American literature, we discover the imaginative & artistic expression of a multiplicity of people united by nationality, diversified by ethnicity & cultural identity, religion, social & economic class, political conviction, & region. It is hoped that this Encyclopedia serves as a useful reference work & may itself be considered a lasting contribution to the very literature it surveys. * "A wise purchase as an update & complement to the Oxford Companion." -Library Journal * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & internationally via Mandatory USPS INTERNATIONAL PRIORITY MAIL (w/ rates on request).
