Truth's Ragged Edge
Philip F. Gura
A comprehensive study of the early American novel since Richard Chase's 1957 classic, The American Novel and Its Tradition. It opens with the first truly homegrown genre of fiction: religious tracts, which were parables, intended to instruct the Christian reader. It is also a guide to the origins and development of the American novel.
