American Authors
Overview
During its early history, America was a
series of British colonies on the eastern coast of the present-day
United States. Therefore, its literary tradition begins as linked to the
broader tradition of English literature. However, unique American
characteristics and the breadth of its production usually now cause it
to be considered a separate path and tradition.
