    "Moving back to the trial of Anne Hutchinson in Puritan Massachusetts and the captivity narrative of Mary Rowlandson in order to analyse theo-political signification, The Letter and the Spirit of Nineteenth-Century American Literature provides a new context for examining the politically performative function of language in such texts as The Scarlet Letter, Uncle Tom's Cabin, and Waiting for the Verdict." --Book Jacket

    In "The Letter and the Spirit of Nineteenth-Century American Literature" Thomas Loebel offers new insight into some of the most important American texts of the nineteenth century, focusing on literature's engagement with the politics of justice. By demonstrating how theological discourse structures literature's critique of the premises of American justice, he retheorises language through theology, necessitating a rethinking of signification and style as well as the relationship between ethics and justice.
