    This book is a study of the development of New England literature and literary institutions from the American Revolutionary era to the late nineteenth century. Professor Buell explores the foundations, growth and literary results of the professionalization of the writing vocation. He pays particular attention to the major writers - Emerson, Thoreau, Hawthorne, Stowe and Dickinson - but surveys them with a number of lesser-known authors, and explores the conventions, values and institutions which affected them all. Some of the main topics covered include the distinctive features of the Early National and Antebellum periods in New England writing; the importance of certain literary genres (poetry, oratory and religious narrative; etc.); the impact of Puritanism and its values; and the invention of acceptable conventions for portraying the New England landscape and institutions in literature 1. Theoretical premises -- 2. A narrative overview of New England's literary development -- 3. Marketplace, ethos, practice : the Antebellum literary situation -- 4. Neoclassical continuities : the early National era and the New England literary tradition -- 5. New England poetics : Emerson, Dickinson, and others -- 6. New England oratory from Everett to Emerson -- 7. Literary scripturism -- 8. The concept of Puritan ancestry -- 9. The politics of historiography -- 10. Fictionalizing Puritan history : some problems and approaches -- 11. Hawthorne and Stowe as rival interpreters of New England Puritanism -- 12. The cultural landscape in regional poetry and prose -- 13. The village as icon -- 14. Lococentrism from Dwight to Thoreau -- 15. Cosmic grotesque -- 16. Provincial Gothic : Hawthorne, Stoddard, and others -- Appendix. Vital statistics : a quantitative analysis of authorship as a profession in New England

    In this magisterial study, John McWilliams traces the development of New England's influential cultural identity. Through written responses to historical crises from early New England through the pre-Civil War period, McWilliams argues that the meaning of 'New England' despite claims for its consistency was continuously reformulated. The significance of past crises was forever being reinterpreted for the purpose of meeting succeeding crises. The crises he examines include starvation, the Indian wars, the Salem witch trials, the revolution of 1775–76 and slavery. Integrating history, literature, politics and religion this is one of the most comprehensive studies of the meaning of 'New England' to appear in print. McWilliams considers a range of writing including George Bancroft's History of the United States, the political essays of Samuel Adams, the fiction of Nathaniel Hawthorne and the poetry of Robert Lowell. This compelling book is essential reading for historians and literary critics of New England pt. 1. Plantation and settlement. Of corn, no corn, and Christian courage -- Thomas Morton: phoenix of New England memory -- Trying Anne -- pt. 2. Time of troubles. Headnote -- A cloud of blood: King Philip's War -- The axe at the root of the tree: scarlet governors and gray champions -- Race, war, and white magic: the neglected legacy of Salem -- pt. 3. Revolution. Headnote -- Boston revolt and Puritan restoration: 1760-1775 -- Shots heard round the world -- Abolition, "white slavery," and regional pride -- Epilogue: "bodiless echoes

    Three major conventional figures dominated Hawthorne's romances: the noble Founding Father, the ""narrow Puritan,"" and the rebellious daughter.

The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
