"American Fiction" is a critical exploration of the literary landscape of America, reflecting Edgar Allan Poe's views on the burgeoning American literary identity. In this work, Poe examines the characteristics that define American literature, pushing against the European influences that dominated the scene. He delves into the unique themes and styles that began to emerge, advocating for a more distinct narrative voice that captures the essence of American experiences. Through this lens, Poe articulates his vision of what American literature should embody, challenging writers to embrace originality and innovation in their storytelling.
