A Companion to the Literature and Culture of the American West presents an in depth and highly detailed exploration of historic and contemporary cultural expressions rooted in America's western states. Historically and culturally, the west exhibits a richness and depth of cultural expression that is often at odds with the popular imagery. Divided into three thematic sections, the companion offers a series of illuminating essays by literary and cultural scholars to reveal the complexity of the many "wests" in our imagination and reality. The first section considers the west chiefly through a historical lens, both literary and cultural, exploring such topics as exploration and Gold Rush narratives, women's writings, the growth of suburbs, class and postcolonial perspectives, and the myriad of cultural expressions from many of the west's sub-regions and population groups. The chapters in the second section present a more genre-based approach, interpreting such topics as pictorial art, cinema, cowboy poetry, autobiography, nature writing, and detective fiction. In the final part, closer, more sustained readings of specific cases illuminate some of the west's persistent questions and issues, including those related to identity, performance, representation, and marketing. A Companion to the Literature and Culture of the American West offers a fully realized portrait of the depth and complexity of cultural expressions that continue to emerge from the American west"--

    "This introduction explores Herman Melville as he described himself in Billy Budd - "a writer whom few know." Moving beyond the recurring depiction of Melville as the famous author of Moby-Dick, this book traces his development as a writer while providing the basic tools for successful critical reading of his novels. Using the extraordinary "Agatha" correspondence with Nathaniel Hawthorne as a key to Melville's writing practices, beliefs, and inclinations, the volume introduces Melville as a writer who constantly reflected on his craft and experimented with new forms and genres." "Arranged chronologically, the volume focuses on Typee, Moby-Dick, and Billy Budd, as well as other novels, short fiction, and poems, to explore Melville's distinctive narrative style. A biography, summaries of key works, interpretation, commentary, and an extensive bibliography are all included."--Jacket Introduction -- Melville's Life -- "Agatha" and the Invention of Narrative -- Melville's Early Yarns -- "Making Literary Use of the Story": Typee and Omoo -- "A Regular Story Founded on Striking Incidents": Mardi, Redburn, and White-Jacket -- Writing New Gospel in Moby-Dick and Pierre -- "So Much of Pathos & So Much of Depth": Moby-Dick -- "All Tender Obligations": Pierre -- Turning a New Leaf: Short Fiction, Israel Potter, and The Confidence-Man -- "A Leaf from Professional Experience": Short Fiction of the 1850s -- "Peculiarly Latitudinarian Notions": Israel Potter and The Confidence-Man -- Melville's Later Career -- "Fulness & Veins & Beauty": Battle-Pieces and Clarel -- "Different Considerations": Late Poetry -- "Instinct with Significance": Billy Budd -- Afterword: "Restoring to You Your Own Property": Owning Melville -- Appendix: "Agatha" Correspondence.

This Concise Companion offers an authoritative overview of American fiction from 1900-1950 focusing on the literature that developed out of the social, cultural, and political changes, which occurred in the first part of the 20th century.

    Consisting of more than 30 original essays by leading scholars in the field, this companion provides a broad introduction to Colonial American literatures. The volume situates texts in their various historical and cultural contexts, including colonialism, imperialism, diaspora, and nation formation. In particular, it brings out the comparative, hemispheric and transatlantic nature of the writing of this period, and highlights the interactions between non-scribal native groups and Europeans that helped to shape early American writing. The companion is divided into four main sections: the opening section on issues and methods covers a wide range of approaches to defining and reading early American writing; the second section, entitled "New World Encounters", considers the interactions between cultural groups during the early centuries of exploration; the third section on identities looks at the development of regional spheres of influence in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries; while the final section considers major genres and writers of the period in a series of "Cross-Cultural Conversations".; The companion is designed to be used alongside Castillo and Schweitzer's "The Literatures of Colonial America: An Anthology" (Blackwell Publishing, 2001) Part I: Issues and methods --Prologomenal thinking: some possibilities and limits of comparative desire /Teresa Toulouse --First peoples: an introduction to early native american studies /Joanna Brooks --Toward a cultural geography of colonial american literatures: empire, location, creolization /Ralph Bauer --Textual investments economics and colonial american literatures /Michelle Burnham --The Culture of colonial america theology and aesthetics /Paul Giles --Teaching the text of early american literature /Michael P.
