American Civil War

Each title in the "Literary and Cultural Movements: Sources and Documents" series concentrates on the cultural and literary area or period during the American Civil War, and offers the student an extensive range of primary source and documentary material, which together represents a significant research resource. The material presented consists of original source material from the period or subject, and includes prefaces, letters, essays and critical texts from the period, as well as related material - especially complete texts.

In addition, each set includes: a substantial introductory essay placing the material in context; a chronology of the period or movement noting texts and figures, as well as relating material to relevant references elsewhere; a bibliography of the texts associated with the period or movement; an extensive critical bibliography; and biographical notes on significant figures and editorial notes on the source material.
