Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Prof. Fiedler's entertaining account of the American Novel's obsessions remains one of the key works of American studies more then 30 years after its first appearance. New afterword by the author.
Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Lionel Trilling
"I know few works of criticism that are so likely to involve the reader whose interest in literature is not of a professional kind . . . it amounts to a general cultural history of the nation."
