American Literature Before 1880
attempts to place its subject in the broadest possible international perspective. It begins with Homer looking westward, and ends with Henry James crossing the Atlantic eastwards. In between, the book examines the projection of images of the East onto an as-yet unrecognised West; the cultural consequences of Viking, Colombian, and then English migration to America; the growth and independence of the British American colonies; the key writers of the new Republic; and the development of the culture of the United States before and after the Civil War.
It is intended both as an introduction for undergraduates to the richness and variety of American Literature, and as a contribution to the debate about its distinctive nature. The book therefore begins with a lengthy survey of earlier histories of American Literature.
American Literature Before1880
offers a new approach to earlier American Literature and a fresh interpretation of some of its major writers. It does so by placing its subject in the broadest possible international perspective, beginning with Homer looking westward, and ending with Henry James crossing the Atlantic eastwards.

The book begins by analysing earlier histories of American literature, and then goes on to examine:
The book ends by sketching some themes that would be developed by American writers after 1880. It also contains brief biographies and bibliographies of key authors, and provides a welcome survey and analysis of the richness, variety and longevity of American literature.
Robert Lawson-Peebles was until recently Associate Dean of Academic Partnerships at Exeter University, and is now a Senior Lecturer in its School of English.
