THE OXFORD COMPANION TO
AMERICAN LITERATURE
THIRD EDITION
By James D. Hart
For this third édition of a popular and standard refer-ence work extensive revisions have been made to bring it completely up-to-date. Since the previous édition enough time has passed so that new authors have come to prominence and enough previously established authors have issued significant books to warrant their inclusion in a revised édition. Eighty new entries have been added and substantial changes have been made in four hundred and eighty previous entries.
Alphabetically arranged, the volume contains short biographies and bibliographies of American authors, with information regarding their style and subject matter; summaries and descriptions of hun-dreds of the important American novéis, stories, essays, poems, and plays; définitions and historical outlines of literary schools and movements; and information on literary societies, magazines, anthologies, co-operative publications, literary awards, book collectors, printers, and other matters related to writ-ing in America.
The New York Times called the first édition 'a one-volume reference shelf,' and the South Atlantic Quarterly said: 'It contains many expert and really valuable short sketches that combine a high degree of historical wisdom with finesse in exposition. Any student of Americana in general or of American literature in particular will find this Companion to be just what it was intended to be — a very useful handbook for the reader of American books of almost any variety.'

The scope of the volume embraces far more than literature considered simply as belles lettres. In the full sense of the word, it is a 'companion' to reading rather than merely to literature — a guide to under-standing American life and expression.
