INTRODUCTION
American literature is literature written or produced in the United States of America and its previous colonies. Thus, the American literary tradition is part of the larger tradition of English-speaking literature, but also includes literature from other traditions produced in the United States and in other immigrant languages.[ first] Additionally, a rich tradition of oral storytelling exists among Native American tribes.
The period of the American Revolution (1775-1783) is notable for the political writings of Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Paine, and Thomas Jefferson. One of the first novels was William Hill Brown's The Power of Sympathy, published in 1791. Writer and critic John Neal in the early to mid-19th century helped move America toward a literary and cultural ethos. unique, by criticizing predecessors like Washington Irving for imitating them. British partners and other influencers such as Edgar Allan Poe.[3] Edgar Allan Poe took American poetry and short fiction in new directions. Ralph Waldo Emerson pioneered the influential Transcendentalism movement; Henry David Thoreau, the author of Walden, was influenced by this movement. The conflict over abolitionism has inspired writers like Harriet Beecher Stowe and stories about slavery like that of Frederick Douglass. Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter (1850) explores the dark side of American history, as does Herman Melville's Moby-Dick (1851). The main American poets of the 19th century were Walt Whitman, Melville, and Emily Dickinson. Mark Twain was the first great American writer born far from the East Coast. Henry James achieved international recognition with novels such as Portrait of a Lady (1881). After World War I, modern literature rejected the forms and values ​​of the 19th century. F. Scott Fitzgerald captures the carefree atmosphere of the 1920s, but John Dos Passos and Ernest Hemingway, who rose to prominence. Famous for the Sun Rises and Farewell to Arms, and William Faulkner adopted experimental forms. Modern American poets include many different figures: Wallace Stevens, T. S. Eliot, Robert Frost, Ezra Pound and E.E. Cummings. Depression-era writers include John Steinbeck, author of The Grapes of Wrath (1939). America's entry into World War II influenced works such as Norman Mailer's The Naked and the Dead (1948), Joseph Heller's Catch-22 (1961), and Kurt Vonnegut Jr's Slaughterhouse-Five (1969) . Prominent playwrights in those years included Eugene O'Neill, a Nobel laureate. In the mid-20th century, the theater was dominated by Tennessee Williams and Arthur Miller, as was the musical theater.
In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, literature written by immigrant, ethnic, Native American, and LGBT writers, as well as works in languages ​​other than English, became increasingly widely accepted. broad and scholarly. Examples of pioneers in these fields include Asian-American authors such as Maxine Hong Kingston, Native American Louise Erdrich and African-American Ralph Ellison, James Baldwin, and 1993 Nobel laureate Toni Morrison. Folk-rock musician Bob Dylan also won the 2016 Nobel Prize for Literature.
