This collection of essays offers evolutionary analysis of a dozen works from the American literary tradition. The aim is to create an interdisciplinary framework for examining key features of the chosen texts, offering an accessible introduction to Darwinian literary critical methodology in tandem with new insights into acknowledged classics. No specialized knowledge of evolutionary biology is needed to follow the lines of argument put forward. Essential terms and concepts, together with pertinent scientific research results, are explained in context, and a glossary is provided. Discussion integrates evolutionary analysis with examination of literary elements such as plot, setting, tone, theme, metaphor, symbol, characterization, and point of view.
