dc.description.abstract | "History of American Literature" by Reuben Post Halleck is a historical account written during the late 19th century. The book aims to explore the evolution of American literature from its colonial beginnings to the contemporary period, highlighting the contributions of prominent authors and significant literary movements. It seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of American literature's unique qualities and its relationship to English literary traditions. The opening of the book serves as a preface where the author introduces the motivation and methodology behind the work. Halleck mentions that requests for a similar treatment to his earlier "History of English Literature" led him to undertake this project. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the moral and cultural dimensions of American literature and critiques traditional educational approaches that focus too heavily on minor authors, neglecting the giants who shaped the field. He aims to present not just facts but the spirit of the literature itself, encouraging readers to engage with the "remarkable American record of spirituality, initiative, and democratic accomplishment." The chapter outlines the connection between American and English literature, asserting the need for a thorough understanding of early American works to appreciate the broader narrative of American identity and ideals.
