In this 1921 critical study, Van Doren examines the historical evolution of the American novel and the idea of the "e;Great American Novel."e; His essay on Melville argued forcefully and successfully for that then-neglected author's literary rehabilitation. Also studied here are Mark Twain, Henry James, James Fenimore Cooper, and others.
