  Rezumat:  Studies in American Literature is a volume of essays on American literature which confirms the coherence of Iulia Andreea Milică’s academic interests. Iulia Andreea Milică, reader at the English Department of “Al. I. Cuza” University, has already declared her concern for American literature, particularly for the American South, with the publication of the two previous volumes, Southern Cultural Dimensions in Flannery O’Connor’s Fiction (2008) and Literary Representations of the Southern Plantations (2013). Organised in three main sections, Studies in American Literature adds to the author’s previous works three sets of essays on the American romance tradition, the Gothic in American literature, and, of course, the American South. The texts discussed in this volume capture an essential part of what we usually mean when we refer to American literature, but they also allow readings meant to subvert the dominant discourses of the society which produced them. As the author explains in the “Introduction”, she chose “those texts that undermine the prevalent beliefs of the age in which they were written and challenge traditions, ideals, and rules” (8). Moreover, I could not help notice that the proportion of male and female writers selected for the essays is fairly equal.
