Andrew Delbanco author of “American Literature: A Vanishing Subject?” wrote about the history of American Literature, its influence by European Literature and challenges preventing its growth. He believed that American Literature did not take off until 1837 when there was calls all over America for “literary nationalism” (Delbanco 1) and the decline of the previously popular Philology, Latin and Greek. Another challenge was American Literature was not taught in school until the 20th century. He stated “American writing was beginning to become a ‘field’ in the academic institutions that earlier practitioners had, by and large, avoided”. The best writers were outside the Academy, prominent schools like Harvard, Yale and Princeton were slow in accepting American Literature, schools like “NYU, which ran an American literature course from 1885 to 1888, allowed it to fall into abeyance until 1914”. American Literature still struggle to be recognized in English departments of higher institutions as more focus was on English. Even after that, the writers faced all kinds of problems and criticisms, he said ten years after the death of Walt Whitman, Brander Matters “still declared that the United States had not produced any poet even of the second rank” (Delbanco 1). He said presently, American Literature is being “permanently demoted” due to presence of Television, video, comic books, advertising and fashion which is seen today as legitimate academic subjects.
