Description: "Indiana's place in the broader context of America's literary heritage, in particular its fictional works, is examined in Pride and Protest: The Novel in Indiana. The volume explores the enduring themes in American literature that are represented by exemplary Indiana fiction: the major schools, movements, and genres in American literature to which Hoosiers have contributed; and the aspects of Indiana fiction that resonate with readers.

Some of the books examined in the book are Eunice Beecher's From Dawn to Daylight, Edward Eggleston's The Hoosier SchoolMaster, Charles Major's When Knighthood Was in Flower, James Maurice Thompson's Alice of Old Vincennes, Meredith Nicholson's The House of a Thousand Candles, Booth Tarkington's The Magnificent Ambersons.
