The present Volume concentrates on the American literature of 19th and 20th centuries and includes critical papers on authors widely prescribed in the Indian universities. As we are aware, the beauty of any literary work is that it leads to fresh interpretation every time when viewed from a different angle. The scholarly and critical analysis presented on the works of several American literary masters such as Emerson, Hawthorn, Poe, Whitman, Hemingway, O'Neill, Miller, Morrison, Walker, etc., by experts in the field of English Literature would unquestionably enable the readers gain a new insight into the interpretation of literary works.
