The Cambridge Introduction to Early American Literature
A literary history of American writing between 1492 and 1820.
The Cambridge Introduction to Early American Literature offers
students a literary history of American writing in English between
1492 and 1820, as well as providing a concise social and cultural
history of these three centuries. Emory Elliott traces the impact
of race, gender, and ethnic conflict on early American culture, and
explores the centrality of American Puritanism in the formation of
a distinctively American literature. Elliott provides an overview
of the oral and written literature of the Europeans who explored,
settled and colonised the North American continent. He goes on to
focus on the New England Puritans and demonstrates the lasting
impact of their thought and writing on early American literature.
Elliott traces the evolution of forms and genres that have come to
be seen as quintessentially American. This highly engaging and
comprehensive study will be essential reading for students of the
literature, history and culture of early America.
"...a testimony of the scholar's breadth of mind and openness to fresh ideas...a sign that the academic movement of 'remapping' the 'conventionally outlined borders' of the American literary continent has reached its turning point. Elliott's unbiased approach to the New England heritage is an event of all-American national importance." American Studies International
Emory Elliott is University Professor of the University of California, Distinguished Professor of English at the University of California at Riverside, and Director of the Center for Ideas and Society.
