Abstract
Among the cultural forces of growing influence in America is the increasing scholarly and literary attention being given to the native American art form, Jazz. This dissertation will illustrate that Jazz owes its recognition to American literature and that all genres of the literature of Jazz have adopted an attitude of Liberal Romanticism in their treatment of Jazz. This attitude is in keeping with the outlook developed by the musicians themselves.
