It is no longer simply a gathering of selections from authors each introduced by a biographical sketch: it is an orderly history of American literature, narrative and critical, with illustrative extracts following the treatment of each individual author. Beginning with the settlement of Virginia, it divides the literary history into six periods, and each of these periods it studies in isolated chapters. The Colonial Era, The Revolution, The New Republic, The Mid-Nineteenth Century, After the Civil War, The New Century.". N° de ref. del artículo 421150G
