Summary: All Educators NEED This Book!!
Comment: As a high school English teacher of American Literature, I find this book extremely valuable to review before introducing a new author or piece of literature. It is brief, informational and fun to read. It would be a great resource for any student, in high school or college, who wants to cover as much literature as possible. It does not replace reading the actual work, but it does offer highlights of authors, summaries of literature, terminology and definitions. It also covers each major American literary movement that makes up our nation's literary history, as well as many of the popular authors of that particular time. Anyone who teaches, writes or covers American Literature in any form, would benefit from having this book!

Summary: Great for CLEP, but not so great in editing!
Comment: I used this book as a guide to CLEP out of American Literature. It had all the detail I needed for taking the exam. It's a good book to get the basics of a very large subject area; most American Lit. text are seperated into two books of 1100 pages each. So it does do a good job of giving you the basics on American Litature. ALthought it good for CLEP the editing need to be greatly improved. Lots of spelling errors and a major error in stating that Ben. Franklin was born in Phil.,PA. All and all a good book with the basics of American Literature.

Summary: Passed with 65!!
Comment: I just took the CLEP on June 10, 2004. I had read this book through during the previous week. I highlighted and took 3x5 notes on each chapter (except the Canadian authors). I also checked out a few audio book classics from my library, Daisy Miller, by Henry James and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, by RL Stevenson...and some movies that were based on American classics. The night before the test, I reviewed all my cards and did some internet searches for poetry by some of the contemporary authors I wasn't familiar with...In taking the test, I found it challenging, but that I had studied the right material. There were some questions I did guess at, but many I was able to nail on the head...thanks to this book...absolutely excellent, and highly recommended! The school that I'm applying to offers 6 credits for this exam too, so I'm doubly excited...one week, and six credits to your transcript...YES!!!
