| Summary | "A Manual of American Literature" edited by Theodore Stanton is a detailed survey of American literary history, likely written in the early 20th century. The text aims to explore the evolution of American literature, tracing its roots from the Colonial period through the Revolutionary era and beyond, focusing on key authors and their contributions. The work is dedicated in part to American literary heritage and examines the interplay between American and English literature. The opening of the manual sets the stage for this exploration by outlining the historical context of American literature, beginning with the first English settlers and their transplantation of culture to the New World. It highlights notable figures such as Captain John Smith and William Strachey, emphasizing their roles in establishing the writings that would shape American literature. The text suggests that while early American literature was heavily influenced by English styles and themes, it was beginning to develop its own unique voice as the American identity began to crystallize, reflecting the struggles and experiences of a new nation.
