Riassunto

Each title in the "Literary and Cultural Movements: Sources and Documents" series concentrates on the cultural and literary area or period covering the American city, from its earliest inception to its contemporary dominance today. A variety of material on the city in general is supplemented with extensive readings on some of America's leading cities. Taken together, the three volumes not only reflect the enormous wealth of response to the city as an American phenomenon, but equally suggest the different ways in which the city has been viewed as a symbol of both the most positive and negative aspects of American culture. The books offers the student an extensive range of primary source and documentary material which, together, represents a significant research resource. The material presented consists of original source material from the period or subject, and includes prefaces, letters, essays and critical texts from the period, as well as related material - especially complete texts. In addition, each set includes: a substantial introductory essay placing the material in context; a chronology of the period or movement noting texts and figures, as well as relating material to relevant references elsewhere; a bibliography of the texts associated with the period or movement; an extensive critical bibliography; and biographical notes on significant figures and editorial notes on the source material.
