Focusing on some less familiar writers, it reveals intriguing aspects of the lives and works of American writers than those of the customarily anthologized expatriates. Offering a broad range of American experiences in Europe in an extensive span of time, the volume widens the history of the transatlantic cultural and literary dialogue between America and Europe Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject American literature -- Europe -- History and criticism American literature -- 20th century -- History and criticism American literature -- 19th century -- History and criticism American literature -- European influences Americans -- Europe -- History -- 20th century Americans -- Europe -- History -- 19th century LITERARY CRITICISM -- American -- General.
