Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of selected writings from prominent American literary figures who lived from the 1776 through the 1876 centennial. Published in 1878, it presents poetry, fiction, humor, satire, sketches of life and character, and excerpts from speeches and other non-fiction works written or delivered in the United States during its first hundred years of nationhood. The author has selected pieces from forty or fifty authors who were no longer living at the time of publication, creating an anthology that gives voice to the development of American literature from its inception. The writings broadly cover themes of nature, revolution, social change and progress, the search for identity, and the complexities of a new nation wrestling with the realities of its founding ideals versus its actual social, economic and political realities. Overall, the book offers a valuable historical record of American thought and culture as expressed through literature. Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
