| These complementary sites provide information about American authors and literary movements. The Literary Movements site includes pages on subjects relevant to the study of American literature, including realism, naturalism, local color fiction, domestic fiction, Calvinism, narratives of slavery, and other concepts. Each page contains a short essay describing and defining the literary or historical movement, a selected secondary bibliography for further reading, a list of the important figures associated with the movement, and links to other sites. The American Authors site focuses on authors who wrote from about 1550 to about 1930. Each page contains a photograph, if available; links to sites about the author; links to the author's works online; many pages also have a selected secondary bibliography, discussion questions, interpretive notes, or all three. These sites are fully searchable and are available in a frames and no-frames version. |
