American literature refers to written or literary work produced in the area of the United States and Colonial America. It owes a debt to European literature and British literature but has a unique American style and its own epic, the Great American Novel. Central to this wiki are Edgar Allan Poe, the lost generation (American expatriates in Paris of the 1920s and 1930s), the beat generation (1950s literary movement), Grove Press, the Partisan Review and New York intellectuals, black science fiction and the corpus of Dalkey Archive Press.
