A rather surprising geographical feature of Antarctica is that a huge freshwater,one of the world’s largest and deepest, lies hidden there under four kilometers of ice.Now known as Lake Vostok, this huge body of water is located under the ice block thatcomprises Antarctica The lake is able to exist in its unfrozen state beneath this block ofice because its waters are warned by geothermal heat from the earth’s core This thick

Trang 6

satellite-borne radar detected an extremely flat region where the ice remains levelbecause it is floating on the water of the lake.

The discovery of such a huge fresh water lake trapped under Antarctica is ofinterest to the scientific community because of the potential that the lake contains ancient

microbes that have survived for thousands upon thousands of years, unaffected by factors

As a result, at the onset of World War I, the spirit and substance of American

literature had evolved remarkably, just as its center of production had shifted from

Boston to New York in the late 1880s and the sources of its energy to Chicago and the

Midwest No longer was it produced, at least in its popular forms, in the main by solemn,

typically moralistic men from New England and the Old South; no longer were polite,well-dressed, grammatically correct, middle-class young people the only central

characters in its narratives; no longer were these narratives to be set in exotic places and remote times; no longer, indeed, were fiction, poetry, drama, and formal history the chief

acceptable forms of literary expression; no longer, finally, was literature read primarily

by young, middle class women

Trang 19

In sum, American literature in these years fulfilled in considerable measure the

condition Walt Whitman called for in 1867 in describing Leaves of Grass: it treats, hesaid of his own major work, each state and region as peers "and expands from them, andincludes the world connecting an American citizen with the citizens of all nations." Atthe same time, these years saw the emergence of what has been designated "the literature

of argument," powerful works in sociology, philosophy, psychology, many of themimpelled by the spirit of exposure and reform Just as America learned to play a role inthis half century as an autonomous international political, economic, and military power,

so did its literature establish itself as a producer of major works
