American Literature to 1900 is a comprehensive book written by Walter Blair that covers the development of American literature from its early colonial beginnings to the end of the 19th century. The book provides a detailed analysis of the major literary movements, authors, and works of this period, including the Puritan and Enlightenment periods, the Romantic movement, and the emergence of realism and naturalism. Blair delves into the cultural, social, and historical contexts that shaped American literature during this time, exploring the themes and issues that preoccupied writers of the period, such as religion, race, gender, and identity. The book also includes critical readings of major works by authors such as Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, and Mark Twain, among others. In addition, American Literature to 1900 offers a comprehensive overview of the development of American literary criticism and theory during this period, including the rise of formalism, New Criticism, and other critical approaches. The book is an essential resource for students and scholars of American literature, as well as anyone interested in the history and development of American culture and society.THIS 36 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The History of World Literature, by Walter Blair.
