This course has been prepared for men and women, and for young people out of school, who wish to know more about the literature of America. It comprises a very brief introduction to the subject and a guide to a few of the best books. The books are arranged for consecutive reading. They should be available in any general library, or may be obtained through any good book store.
A good general knowledge of the subject should result from following through the course of reading suggested in this booklet—a knowledge greatly superior to that of the average citizen. If you wish to pursue the subject further, the librarian of your Public Library will be glad to make suggestions. If you desire to increase your knowledge in other fields, you are referred to the other courses in this Reading with a Purpose series, and to your Public Library.
