Kelly Library of St. Gregory's University, and Alev Akman "The American Spirit in Literature: A Chronicle of Great Interpreters" by Bliss Perry is a historical account compiled in the early 20th century. The book explores the evolution of American literature and its reflection of the national spirit from the colonial era through the Revolutionary age and beyond, identifying key figures and movements that shaped literary expression. The opening of the book discusses the dynamic essence of the American experience, emphasizing themes of change, experimentation, and the adventurous spirit inherent to the nation's development. Perry introduces the character of the American pioneer, describing him as one marked by resourcefulness, a sense of transience, and a resolute spirit to conquer new frontiers. Through these traits, Perry sets the stage for analyzing how literary voices from figures like Captain John Smith and the early colonial writers have captured the essence of this American spirit, framing the narrative around the complexities of identity and expression in the context of both the past and evolving literary traditions.
