"A Dictionary of American Authors" by Oscar Fay Adams is a reference work written in the late 19th century. This volume is an extensive compilation listing over six thousand names of American authors, offering brief biographical details and insights into their works. Its aim is to document the contributions of American literature while acknowledging the difficulties in achieving comprehensive accuracy. The opening portion of the dictionary provides a preface outlining the author's intent and challenges in compiling the work. Adams explains that this dictionary is an enhancement from a previous handbook, correcting errors from earlier editions and adding a significant number of new entries. He acknowledges the limitations of the undertaking, such as omitted names and unverified information, but emphasizes the effort made to gather accurate data through extensive research and correspondence. The content foreshadows a valuable resource for researchers, historians, and literature enthusiasts interested in American literary figures.
