Excerpt from American Writers on American Litterature Our book is not a history but a collection of essays. Yet it is comprehensive enough to serve as a history; all the important figures in American letters are treated in separate chapters or have their place in convenient groups. Nobody can decide to the satisfaction Of everybody else just Who is important and who is secondary. The decision affecting the general plan of the book has been made by the editor, but in specific cases the collaborators determined the inclusions and omissions, and one or two suggested their own topics. Strict history is in duty bound to consider many persons Whom literary criticism can cheerfully forget. In our view completeness is neither attainable nor desirable; space, in exorable and kindly, forbids, and exhaustive treatment is likely to exhaust the reader.
