| Popis: | The preconceived notion that American literature is written in English has served to make American literature in other languages invisible. All too slowly, American literature in Spanish is coming into its own, but the many American books and periodicals in other languages largely remain undiscovered. The focus of this article is the period of the decades before and after 1900. After a discussion of the conditions for a multilingual American literature in this period, some of the characteristic features of minority literatures are considered. Finally, a brief history of American literature in the Norwegian language is given as an illustration both of how such literatures have developed and disappeared and of their thematic variety. |
