The article analyzes the book "The Cambridge History of American Literature," vol. 1, "Colonial and Revolutionary literature, Early National Literature," edited by W.P. Trent. The appearance of the first volume in the "The Cambridge History of American Literature" is one among many events of national significance in 1917. Traditional neglect of American spiritual history is registered in the fact that very few will read it at once, very few intend to read it some time, and very few more are even conscious of it as a work for others to read.
