Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of American Letters The story that lies between those two points is, to my thinking, the story Of our literature itself. It is not a story Of lives, or Of literary milieux, though biographical or social facts may sometimes illumine it. It is a story of writings - their titles, their content, their forms and techniques, their emotional tones and overtones, their underlying philosophy, their human values. As a story of writings, it is also In measure a story Of the Amer ican consciousness. It is therefore a complex story, so complex that a single volume can hardly do more than chart its main out lines. And it is also a wonderfully rich and interesting story, so rich and so interesting that if I have been able to put it even partially on record, the reader perhaps may share the excitement I have found in following America's magnificent adventure in awareness.
