American literature:

American literature or American literature refers to literature produced in the United States (including literary works in the colonial period before the founding of the People's Republic of China). American literature written in English can be regarded as a part of English literature. The history of American literature is not long. It appeared almost at the same time as American liberal capitalism and was less bound by feudal aristocratic culture. The United States is vast and sparsely populated, and there are large areas of undeveloped land in the early days, which provides great possibilities for the realization of personal ideals.
