Overview

American Literature as an Expression of the National Mind (1931) is a remarkable work that traces not only the history and development of literature in the United States, but also the national characteristics that have arisen out of America’s unique background. By linking the two, the author provides great insight into the psychology of America and its great literary heritage.
