Review on the 2004 edition of this book (Longman - Pearson)

As introduced, it provides a complete survey of the English prose, poetry and drama of the US from Colonial times to the 1980s (glossary of literary terms and a table of historical and literary events also included).You're gonna learn about some major writers and their most famous works. This book does give us a clear overview of the American Literature, but as the name has said, it is just an outline. I think it will be most helpful to those who have just started studying American Lit, or have not taken it as a major in college, or are international students like I. Briefly, "An Outline of American Literature" of Peter B.High is one of the most helpful, informative and interesting-to-read reference books.
