The sixteen chapters that follow are not just surveys of literary traditions—they are structured insights. Chapter 1 to Chapter 4 explore the growth of American literature, from its Puritan roots to its modernist break. Chapter 5 brings to light the powerful voices of African American writers, whose works forged resistance and selfhood in a fractured world. From Canadian multiculturalism to Caribbean postcolonial struggles, from the oral traditions of African nations to the complex settler-indigenous tensions in Australia, Chapters 6 to 9 form a mosaic of cultural identity and literary resistance. Chapters 10 to 14 traverse the European landscape—Russian anguish, German philosophical introspection, French revolutionary spirit, Italian lyricism, and the diverse literatures of the European continent. These are not distant canons—they are living, breathing texts that continue to shape our ideas of humanity.
