Resources for American Literary Study

Eleven contributions from scholars report on projects of archival scholarship and bibliographical analysis in American literature. Included are a study of the annotations of Margaret Fuller; analyses of letters by William Cullen Bryant, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and F. Scott Fitzgerald; and a reconsideration of the college life of Frank Norris. These are followed by 19 book reviews. While the volume is not, itself, indexed, it does contain a comprehensive index of the 27 previous volumes of the journal. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
