The Open Anthology of Earlier American Literature
Is American literature defined by geographical boundaries? What is the difference between American literature and American history? How does the in-depth study of early American literature prompt us rethink representations of American culture today? In our global era, it is clear that past definitions of American literature must be revisited. This anthology moves to answer the question “what is American literature?” by framing the texts in new and provocative ways that fit the modern age.
