American Fiction, 1774–1900: A Contribution Toward a Bibliography
by Lyle H. Wright
Originally in three volumes—Volume II: 1851–1875; Volume III: 1876–1900; and Supplement of Additions and Corrections. (Volume I is out of print.)

This is more than a reference tool for collectors and bibliographers; through its use one gains a conspectus of American fiction during its formative years, and the social historian will therefore find it valuable as a source for interpretive studies.

"The scope of, and the care exercised in preparing this list, makes it one of the most essential tools for the study of American fiction."—American Literature
