520 3  If you are looking to brush up on your literary knowledge,
       check a favorite author's work, or see a year's 
       bestsellers at a glance, The Chronology of American 
       Literature is the perfect resource. At once an 
       authoritative reference and an ideal browser's guide, this
       book outlines the indispensable information in America's 
       rich literary past - from major publications to lesser-
       known gems - while also identifying larger trends along 
       the literary timeline. Who wrote the first published book 
       in America? When did Edgar Allan Poe achieve notoriety as 
       a mystery writer? What was Hemingway's breakout title? The
       Chronology makes it easy to find answers to these 
       questions and more. Authors and their works are grouped 
       within each year by category: fiction and nonfiction; 
       poetry; drama; literary criticism; and publishing events. 
       Short, concise entries describe an author's major works 
       for a particular year while placing them within the larger
       context of that writer's career. The result is a 
       fascinating glimpse into the evolution of some of 
       America's most prominent writers. Perhaps most important, 
       The Chronology offers an invaluable line through our 
       literary past, tying literature to the American experience
       - war and peace, boom and bust, and reaction to social 
       change. You'll find everything here from Benjamin 
       Franklin's "Experiments and Observations on Electricity" 
       to Davy Crockett's first memoir; from Thoreau's "Civil 
       Disobedience" to Edith Wharton's "Ethan Frome"; from 
       meditations by James Weldon Johnson and James Agee to 
       poetry by Elizabeth Bishop. Also included here are seminal
       works by authors such as Rachel Carson, Toni Morrison, 
       John Updike, and Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. Lavishly 
       illustrated - and rounded out with handy bestseller lists 
       from throughout the twentieth century, lists of literary 
       awards and prizes, and authors' birth and death dates - 
       The Chronology of American Literature belongs on the shelf
       of every bibliophile and literary enthusiast. It is the 
       essential link to our literary past and present.
