Spanning the 20<sup>th</sup> and early 21<sup>st</sup> centuries, Volume Three studies traditional areas of American literature as well as the literature from previously marginalized groups and contemporary writers often overlooked by scholars. This inclusive and comprehensive study of American literature:</p> <ul> <li>Examines the influences of race, ethnicity, gender, class, and disability on American literature</li> <li>Discusses the role of technology in book production and circulation, the rise of literacy, and changing reading practices and literary forms</li> <li>Explores a wide range of writings in multiple genres, including novels, short stories, dramas, and a variety of poetic forms, as well as autobiographies, essays, lectures, diaries, journals, letters, sermons, histories, and graphic narratives.</li> <li>Provides a thematic index that groups chapters by contexts and illustrates their links across different traditional chronological boundaries</li> </ul> <p><i>A Companion to American Literature </i>is a valuable resource for students coming to the subject for the first time or preparing for field examinations, instructors in American literature courses, and scholars with more specialized interests in specific authors, genres, movements, or periods.</p>
