The Early American Novel (1907)

The Early American Novel (1907) by Lillie Deming Loshe is a comprehensive study of the development of the novel in America from its earliest beginnings up to the end of the 18th century. The book explores the historical, social, and cultural contexts in which the early American novel emerged, and examines the major themes, styles, and techniques that characterized this literary genre during this period.Through a series of insightful analyses of key texts by authors such as William Hill Brown, Charles Brockden Brown, and Susanna Rowson, Loshe demonstrates how the early American novel was shaped by a range of literary, philosophical, and political influences, including the Enlightenment, the American Revolution, and the emergence of a distinct American identity.The book also offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives and works of lesser-known writers of the period, including women and African American authors, who played a crucial role in shaping the early American novel.Overall, The Early American Novel is a valuable resource for scholars and students of American literature, as well as anyone interested in the history and development of the novel as a literary form.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
