252pp. Laminated stiff card covers. 8vo. Some edge wear to card covers, slight soiling to text block edges, with a minor bump to rear lower leading corner. Internally neat, clean, bright and tight.

Using a comparative methodology sensitive to both the form of texts and their historical contexts, Cushing Strout shows how an American Tradition has developed through responses of writers to the works of their native predecessors. Crossing the boundaries between literary history and cultural studies. he examines the visions of America as revised by the likes of Walt Whitman, Edith Wharton, William James, Martin Luther King and Abraham Lincoln.
