From the Back Cover
American Literature in Context to 1865 is the perfect companion for readers who want to familiarize themselves with the historical events and literary movements that shaped American literature from the pre-Columbian period to the end of the Civil War.

Situating literary texts in their historical context, from indigenous texts to sermons, slave narratives, political tracts, novels, essays on abolition and women's rights, stories of the early frontier to poetry, Susan Castillo conveys the splendid untidiness and exuberant vitality of American literature, and the ways in which many different voices with different agendas have clamored to be heard.

Includes a transatlantic timeline, featuring key literary works and historical events, as well as suggestions for further reading.
