An indispensable tool for teachers and
students of American literature, Reading
the American
/1/01^/1865-1914
provides a
comprehensive introduction to the fiction
written during a crucially important era..
Leading literary scholar G. R. Thompson
shares his insights into the fiction of one
of the most pivotal periods in American
literature, and each chapter offers both
a lucid distillation of the key conditions
of the historical and cultural contexts
and a practical guide for studying literary
works. For the beginner, Thompson offers
a foundational overview of the authors,
themes, and contexts of the field; for
teachers he provides a practical guide for
studying literary works; and for scholars,
he puts forth nuanced readings and a bold
new interpretation delineating the diversity
of historical genres, movements, and forms
An illuminating introduction to the
literature of the period, this book
demonstrates the changing mentality erf
nineteenth-century America entering the
twentieth century, framed between two
monumental wars. Demonstrating differen
attitudes toward and representations of
contemporary concerns as they appeared
in literature, Thompson addresses the
relationship between the intellectual and
artistic output of the time and the turbulen
sociopolitical context. Written in clear and
accessible prose, with fresh insights and
textual analysis, this is a book for anyone
interested in nineteenth-century and early
modern fiction, American literature, and
American cultural history.
