"The journal "American Literature" was founded in 1929 and since that time has regularly published important articles on the study of literature in the United States. Many of the articles that appeared in the journal have, in fact, become the 'standard view' or 'the final word' on a particular literary subject. . . . The series will be an important acquisition for every college library."--"Choice"
