Chapter 1 introduces the concept of American Literature, explaining different time periods and themes discussed in this book. Ch. 1 then analyzes the British origins of American literature in the 17th and 18th centuries. In Chapter 2 we look at literature produced during the colonial period, up through the American Revolution. We analyze the literature of the 17th and 18th centuries, which included religious Puritan literature, political work and pamphlets, and even the foundation of African American literature. In the first of two chapters about Romantic literature, Chapter 3 tracks the Romanticism Movement, which began in Europe in the 18th century and moved to America in the early 19th century. In this chapter, we look at what influenced the Romantic authors and profile the major Romantic poets, including Longfellow and Poe. In Chapter 4 we look at new forms of American literature that took shape during the Romantic period, including short stories and novels, discussing authors like Hawthorne. Chapter 5 discusses the Transcendentalism movement in American literature that took place in the mid 19th century, looking at what influenced the work of Emerson, Thoreau and Dickinson among others. Chapter 6 discusses the Realism movement in American literature, known for casting off the more formal aspects of its literary predecessors. We discuss the influences and work of authors like Mark Twain. Chapter 7 looks at the early 20th century’s “experimentation” period, in which authors tried new styles and forms of literature. We profile some of the most famous authors and work of the period, including Hemingway and Fitzgerald. Chapter 8 concludes by looking at contemporary American literature, beginning with “postmodernism,” after World War II. Contemporary literature departs from the Romanticism and Realism literature and embraces boldly imaginative work, using new literary devices like paradox. We look at the styles and influences in this final chapter.
