This book presents the first systematic study of anti-Americanism in European literature. Combining scholarly rigor with accessibility, Jesper Gulddal carefully analyzes a range of works from Dickens to Le Carre, arguing that fictional literature is a key factor in the development and dissemination of hostile attitudes towards the United States. As the book identifies the specific narrative and figurative resources of literary anti-Americanism, it also unearths the reasons for its persistence throughout two centuries.
