Features: Compared to the previous five editions, the 6th edition of the Oxford American Literature Dictionary inherits its original openness, inclusiveness, and impartiality. It presents the diversity of American literary development to readers with an open and inclusive attitude, free from formal constraints, length limitations, or hierarchical distinctions. At the same time, the 6th edition of the Oxford American Literature Dictionary is more contemporary and comprehensive. It not only reexamines and revises entries for established authors but also timely expands introductions for writers who gained recognition after the 1980s, thereby reflecting the full picture of American literary development in a more up-to-date, broader, authoritative, and complete manner.
