Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. Harvard English Studies 13. 351pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in Fine condition. "This volume offers a wide-ranging revaluation of American literature, from the Revolutionary period to the present, by outstanding young scholars who represent a new generation of American critics. Although they differ in their approaches and methods, all of them express a distinctive generational experience of discontinuity and disruption, and all are concerned with the problematics of literary history--the attempt to ground textual analysis in history and, indeed, to make history a central category of aesthetic criticism. These essays succeed in using literary techniques to illuminate the dynamics of culture, and historical analysis to open up literary interpretation. They provide fresh perspectives on questions of canon formation, intentionality, evaluation, and influence, 'popular' vis-a-vis 'classic' literature, the import of modernism and postmodernism, the connections between myth and ideology, American and European developments, rhetoric and social action. They offer persuasive new readings of particular texts and reformulations of cultural continuities and disjunctions. Taken as a whole, the volume delineates the major points of debate in current American literary criticism, and suggests new directions in the study of American literature and culture." [publisher copy] Essayists include Morris Dickstein, Sandra Gilbert, Frank Lentricchia, Wendy Steiner & Werner Sollors.
