Question

Even though the scope of American literature continued to broaden in the second half of the twentieth

century, the consistency of ideas and themes could be found in_________.

America's writing Style

America's core values

America's literary heritage

America's leadership

Answer 1

America´s literary heritage

Step-by-step explanation:

From the Colonial Period (17th century) and Early National Period to the Romantic Period (1830- 1870) to Realism and Naturalism (1870-1910) to the Modernist Period (1910-1945), they all contributed in some way or another to the Contemporary Period in literature, that reflected the social upheaval that acompanied the contemporary and all the other socio-political periods of America.

There is no such thing as a typical American writing style.

The core values (like the natural rights of people) do play a significant role but they don´t determine American literature.

America´s leadership or hegemony is a fact but it doesn´t make its literature consistent.
