From Library Journal
Designed as a companion to The Columbia Literary History of the United States ( LJ 1/88), this compilation of 31 major essays covers the American novel from the 1700s to the present (although the majority deal with the 20th century). Within each era, themes, genres, and topics such as realism, gender, romance, and technology are discussed in depth, as well as modern Canadian, Caribbean, and Latin American fiction. Unfortunately, each essayist selects only the authors who best illustrate his or her topic, thus subtly skewing the view of the literary scene at that time. Since women, minorities, popular fiction, and even the book marketplace are included, coverage is uneven, with some major figures getting short shrift. Best as a supplement to other sources, this is recommended for all literature and reference collections.

Reader Reviews
este libro es excelente no solo para los que quieren encontrar una consulta rapida, sino para el inicio de un estudio profundo de literatura.esta bien, hay que admitir que no es ciento por ciento completo y que en la parte de literatura caribena, excluye a algunos, pero es un buen comienzo para este libro, ojala que en ediciones subsiguientes se siga ampliando la parte que toca mas a latinoamerica.
