  • Unlike other such lists....this collection includes novels written during the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries....Bridges takes a broad definition of "American", in some cases including authors of other nationalities who lived and wrote in the United States and in others American authors living and working abroad....A useful addition to public and undergraduate library collections.

Description: Bridges has compiled a list of 100 American novels published between 1797 and 1997 and worthy of the title "great." Although the idea is to bring light to the obscure, these titles are physically accessible to readers--either in print, or represented in library collections and available through library loan. For each title, he provides a brief quotation from the book, a plot summary and review, a biographical sketch of the author, a list of the author's other publications, and resources to consult. Intended as a ready reference, this guide will be of particular interest to readers' advisors, as well as faculty and students of American literature.
