The Cambridge Companion to Native American Literature

Description

This Companion provides an informative and wide-ranging overview of a relatively new field of literary-cultural studies: literature of many genres in English by American Indians from the 1770s to the present day.
In addition to the seventeen chapters written by respected experts–Native and non-Native; American, British and European scholars–it includes bio-bibliographies of forty authors, maps, suggestions for further reading, and a timeline which details major works of Native American and mainstream American literature, as well as significant social, cultural and historical events.
