Of the answer choices, the one that has the best restatement of Macy's overall philosophical vision of American literature is:

A. American literature is not truly American because it is dominated by English influences.

  • According to John Macy, American literature does not seem able to escape English influences.
  • He acknowledges the existence of literary works that represent American reality, people, and dialects.
  • However, Macy claims that American literature still lacks "American quality":

"In the last century the strongest thinkers in our language were Englishmen, and not only the traditional but the contemporary influences on our thinkers and artists were British."

" But wherever an English-speaking man of imagination may dwell, in Dorset or Calcutta or Indianapolis, he is subject to the strong arm of the Empire of English literature."

  • Therefore, the best option to restate Macy's vision is letter A.
