American Fiction: Exploring the American Experience Through Literature [ACRL/Choice] In-Person
How do American novels inform American history? How do the creative works of American writers help us explore the varieties of the American experience in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries? How do the classics of American fiction framed within the larger context of American publishing help present a truer picture of American social and cultural attitudes? And how can the ability to cross-search an archive like Gale's American Fiction, 1774-1920 with other archive content spanning the 18th and 19th centuries offer practitioners of digital scholarship countless opportunities for research? This webinar will demonstrate how even a simple search, for a string of words - "may be used against" - is much more useful in American Fiction than in Google Books as well as some unique insight from a guest speaker
