Beginning with the first prose of the Virginia settlers—who were writing at the same time as Shakespeare—this sweeping 1912 study traces the development of American literature from the colonial period and the revolution, through the nineteenth century. Cairns focuses on the influence of the abolitionists and transcendentalists, as well as that of the Southern, Western, New York, and Pennsylvania schools.
