In this 1921 critical study, Van Doren examines the historical evolution of the American novel and the idea of the "Great American Novel."  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.
