The first edition of this book, published in 2002, aimed to complete the study material for our students of American literature. The third edition strives to emphasize this aspect while expanding and deepening the general overview as well as including other important movements and authors. The exposition of the 20th century underwent major changes: the scholars added new texts while supplementing the older ones to comply with the development of critical and academic approaches. The book is written to the point and in comprehensible language, corresponding with the ambition to present and explain the development of one of the most interesting world literatures to university students.

První vydání této knihy, které vyšlo roku 2002, si kladlo za cíl doplnit studijní materiály pro naše studenty americké literatury, třetí vydání se snaží tento aspekt zdůraznit a zároveň rozšířit a prohloubit obecný přehled a zahrnout další významné směry a autory. Ve výkladu 20. století došlo i k podstatným změnám. Autoři přidali nové texty a starší doplnili v souladu s vývojem kritických přístupů a akademického pojetí. Kniha je napsaná účelným a srozumitelným jazykem, korespondujícím s ambicí předložit a vysvětlit vysokoškolským studentům vývoj jedné z nejzajímavějších literatur světa..
