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.
