A to Z listings. list of contributors. american literature. journalism. biography. american history. ~ Benet''s Reader's Encyclopedia of American Literature is the most up~to~date and comprehensive single~volume reference work on the literature of the United States, Canada, and Latin America. Based on a work first edited by Max J. Herzberg and published in 1962, the thousands of concise but complete entries deal with a vast variety of authors, titles, and other topics of a general cultural nature, covering American life in addition to writing, from Colonial days to the present. While the encyclopedia retains Herzberg's complete and authoritative coverage of the canon of American literature, more than 1500 new articles expand the scope of the book to include current literary developments, earlier works of literature previously overlooked, and attention to the recent significant increase in contributions by women and ethnic minorities. There is extensive coverage of the literature of Canada and Latin America as well. Each biographical entry gives the facts of an author's life, deals with that author's major and lesser works, summarizes the critical concensus, and often lists secondary biographical and critical works. Title entries give authorship, interesting sidelights on sources or critical reception, and, often plot synopses. Articles on major authors and broad topics such as Native American Prose and Poetry, Jewish American Literature, Children's Literature, and Motion Pictures were contributed by more than 130 scholars noted in their fields. The extraordinarily complete coverage in Benet's Reader's Encyclopedia of American Literature makes it an indispensable reference work for students and an invaluable introduction for the general reader to the whole field of American writing.
