American Literature Association

Welcome

Hello and welcome!  We hope that you and families are keeping well in the era of social distancing.  In light of COVID-19 we've decided to take our exhibit stands online.  It’s not like being at the event in person, but we hope it offers at least some semblance of normality during this challenging time.  Below you will find a list of the books we would have had on display, as well as information on who to contact if you are interested in publishing with us.  We've also increased our online discount so that being at home doesn't mean you have to miss out on conference prices, if you're in the market for a good book that is.  If not, then perhaps just close your eyes for a moment and pretend you’re in the exhibit hall, about to head off to the wine reception….

And now that you've got yourself that all important drink, how about a quick word from one of our editors:

Message from the Editor

Each year it is a pleasure to renew acquaintance with the delegates of the ALA, and with the American authors around whom the ALA conference is organized. The conference is always impressive: wide in scope with new ideas being applied to the established figures of the American literary canon. I'm very sorry to miss this year’s conference in San Diego. We will return for Boston in 2021. There you will find the most extensive list on American literature in academic publishing. We try to ensure that the CUP list is relevant, developing and challenging. As always, I look forward to discussing that list with you, and to hearing of new approaches to the study of the American literary canon.
