Establishing American Literature : 6
pages in length. There
have been a number of influences that have shaped American
Literature. From the time that Western Europeans founded
the country to the inclusion of Native American lore to the
contributions of such literary giants as Mark Twain and Carl
Sandburg, the composition of American Literature has been
both constant and ever-changing. Indeed, as much as
America, itself, is a melting pot of diversity within a cultural
concern, so too is this considerable diversity a significant
aspect of its emerging literature. The writer discusses various
influences to American literature. Bibliography lists 5
