Available in Gale Artemis: Literary Sources!
This collection consists of all volumes in the Scribner American Writers series, including: American Writers (the 4-volume base set and all supplements), American Writers Retrospective and American Writers Classics.
The American Writers Supplements include authors who have never been featured in American Writers, while the retrospective volumes re-examine some of the most important and influential writers in the American canon already covered in American Writers.
The classic volumes focus on famous works - many of which are required reading in high schools and colleges. Each classics volume includes 20-25 accessible essays, each on a single work of American literature. Examples include Toni Morrison\'s "Beloved," J.D. Salinger\'s "Catcher in the Rye" and Stephen Crane\'s "The Red Badge of Courage."
