Description
The monograph by Šárka Bubíková presents a systematic study of the development of the American literary tradition from its ambiguous beginnings to the end of the twentieth century. It reflects on the transformations in the perception of which works were recognized as classics worthy of preservation and transmission to the next generation; in other words, how the American literary canon was formed and reshaped. It provides a clear summary of the main attempts to define the essence of American literature and culture while also introducing its own fresh perspective on the entire issue. The book is intended not only for Americanists but for anyone interested in literature and cultural studies.
