In recent years there has been a progressive development of American literature as a university subject in India and the present book fulfils an urgent need and ought ot be welcomed. The novelists are represented by short stories or by brief comment in the introduction since constraints of space do not alow for the inclusiion of their longer works. The American novelists are represented by such nemes as Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, steinbeck, John Updike and tennesse Williams in this anthology. Among the poets included we find emily dickinson, Robert Frost, Carl sandburg, Ezra pund and Amy Lowell. Some Literature, such as the ppoems of T. S. Eliot have bwwn omitted reluctantly because of copyright limitations. The intrduction and the introductory notes to each author are not inte nded to be either dedinitive or limiting so that it provides scope for further exploration by the student himself, and with that end in view brief bibliographical sugestions are included. On the same educational principle, the notes given to explain or identify some of the points or references in the text are kept brief in scope and few in number. ISBN: 81-219-0443-9
