This is the second volume in a series that should prove immensely useful to students of literature who wish to benefit from the careful reflection on a single text by someone who has thought long and hard about that text. The series itself represents a further development of the American Writers series. This second volume of American Classics is largely concerned with novels. A fair number of novels were chosen that must be considered central to the American tradition of literary fiction.
