The Literary Answer to an Encyclopedia

Here are the 10 volumes on American literature published in the mid-19th century by Kent Ljungquist and Wesley Mott, books that comprise the standard reference sources on the period for public and private libraries, college students and professors…even high school students. Added for good measure are a few other works on American authors by these prolific WPI English professors.
