From the American exceptionalism of James Fenimore Cooper to the apocalyptic post-Americanism of Cormac McCarthy, these newly commissioned essays from leading scholars and critics chronicle the major aesthetic innovations that have shaped the American novel over the past two centuries. The essays evaluate the work, life and legacy of influential American novelists including Melville, Twain, James, Wharton, Cather, Faulkner, Ellison, Pynchon and Morrison, while situating them within the context of their literary predecessors and successors. The volume also highlights less familiar, though equally significant writers such as Theodore Dreiser and Djuna Barnes, providing a balanced and wide-ranging survey of use to students, teachers and general readers of American literature"-- Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 00 $t Cormac McCarthy / $r Brian Evenson. $g 30. $t James Fenimore Cooper / $r Stephen Railton -- $g 2. $t Nathaniel Hawthorne/ $r Robert Milder -- $g 3. $t Herman Melville / $r Clark Davis -- $g 4. $t Harriet Beecher Stowe / $r Arthur Riss -- $g 5. $t Mark Twain / $r Peter Messent -- $g 6. $t Henry James / $r Thomas J.
