I'm living somewhere for 6 weeks for work and I decided I would do a crash course in 19th century American lit. I read:
Washington Irving - The Sketch Book
Henry David Thoreau - Walden
Nathaniel Hawthorne - The Scarlett Letter
Herman Melville - Billy Budd
Frederick Douglass - Narrative of the Life of
Mark Twain - Adventures of Tom Sawyer
Charles W Chesnutt - The Conjure Woman
Kate Chopin - The Awakening
Sarah Orne Jewett - The Country of Pointed Firs

I have time for one more, what should I read?
Also 19th century American lit general

THE DEMONYM OF UNITEDSTATES IS: «UNITEDSTATIAN», NOT: «AMERICAN».

That’s a good joke, but the fact is there is no name for the nation.
“America” is poorly named anyway

I AM AWARE THAT: «UNITED STATES OF AMERICA»/«UNITEDSTATES», IS NOT A PROPER NAME, BUT THIS FACT DOES NOT JUSTIFY THE USURPATION OF THE CONTINENT'S NAME.

THAT NAMELESS COUNTRY SHOULD HAVE BEEN NAMED: «COLUMBIA».
