    Introduction: the historicity of historical fiction -- The new Ebenezer: republican virtue, the puritan fathers, and early national history-writing -- Catharine Sedgwick's 'Recital' of the Pequot War -- Refashioning the Republic: gender, ideology, and the politics of virtue in Hobomok and Hope Leslie -- The Hive of America: James Fenimore Cooper's The Wept of Wish-ton-Wish and the History of King Philip's War -- Witch-hunting and the politics of reason -- Afterword: American origins of puritan selves. Philip Gould investigates the cultural politics of historical memory in the early American republic, specifically the historical literature of Puritanism. By situating historical writing about Puritanism in the context of the cultural forces of Republicanism and liberalism, his study reconsiders the emergence of the historical romance in the 1820s, before the work of Nathaniel Hawthorne. This 1997 book not only aids the Americanist recovery of this literary period, but also brings together literary studies of historical fiction and historical scholarship of early Republican political culture; in doing so, it offers a persuasive account of just what is at stake when one reads literature of and about the past

    Moving boldly between literary analysis and political theory, contemporary and antebellum US culture, Arthur Riss invites readers to rethink prevailing accounts of the relationship between slavery, liberalism, and literary representation. Situating Nathaniel Hawthorne, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Frederick Douglass at the center of antebellum debates over the person-hood of the slave, this 2006 book examines how a nation dedicated to the proposition that 'all men are created equal' formulates arguments both for and against race-based slavery. This revisionary argument promises to be unsettling for literary critics, political philosophers, historians of US slavery, as well as those interested in the link between literature and human rights.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson's dictum - 'The corruption of man is followed by the corruption of language' - belongs to a long tradition of writing connecting political disorders and the corruption of language that stretches back in Western culture. Representative Words, which gives an account of the tradition from its classical and Christian origins through the Enlightenment, is primarily a study of how and why Americans renewed and developed it between the ages of the Revolutionary and the Civil Wars. It is the first comprehensive treatment of the background to and the appearance of the wealth of theories about language in the early era of American political and cultural discourse. Professor Gustafson's argument demonstrates the interconnectedness of the state of language and the state of society and turns on the question of representation and misrepresentation - whether and how words represent or misrepresent nature, social reality, truth, and value in the new American experiment in representative republican government pt.

    Philip Gould investigates the cultural politics of historical memory in the early American republic, specifically the historical literature of Puritanism. By situating historical writing about Puritanism in the context of the cultural forces of Republicanism and liberalism, his study reconsiders the emergence of the historical romance in the 1820s, before the work of Nathaniel Hawthorne. This 1997 book not only aids the Americanist recovery of this literary period, but also brings together literary studies of historical fiction and historical scholarship of early Republican political culture; in doing so, it offers a persuasive account of just what is at stake when one reads literature of and about the past Introduction: the historicity of historical fiction -- The new Ebenezer: republican virtue, the puritan fathers, and early national history-writing -- Catharine Sedgwick's 'Recital' of the Pequot War -- Refashioning the Republic: gender, ideology, and the politics of virtue in Hobomok and Hope Leslie -- The Hive of America: James Fenimore Cooper's The Wept of Wish-ton-Wish and the History of King Philip's War -- Witch-hunting and the politics of reason -- Afterword: American origins of puritan selves

    In confronting their tumultuous time, antebellum American writers often invoked unrevealable secrets. Five of Ralph Waldo Emerson's most inventive interlocutors - Melville, Hawthorne, Dickinson, Douglass and Jacobs - produced their most riveting political thought in response to Emerson's idea that moods fundamentally shape one's experience of the world, changing only through secret causes that no one fully grasps. In this volume, Dominic Mastroianni frames antebellum and Civil War literature within the history of modern philosophical skepticism, ranging from Descartes and Hume to Levinas and Cavell, arguing that its political significance lies only partially in its most overt engagement with political issues like slavery, revolution, reform, and war. It is when antebellum writing is most philosophical, figurative, and seemingly unworldly that its political engagement is most profound. Mastroianni offers new readings of six major American authors and explores the teeming archive of nineteenth-century print culture

    Moving boldly between literary analysis and political theory, contemporary and antebellum US culture, Arthur Riss invites readers to rethink prevailing accounts of the relationship between slavery, liberalism, and literary representation. Situating Nathaniel Hawthorne, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Frederick Douglass at the center of antebellum debates over the person-hood of the slave, this 2006 book examines how a nation dedicated to the proposition that 'all men are created equal' formulates arguments both for and against race-based slavery. This revisionary argument promises to be unsettling for literary critics, political philosophers, historians of US slavery, as well as those interested in the link between literature and human rights.

    Sentimentalism, sex, the construction of the modern body, and the origins of American liberalism all come under scrutiny in this rich discussion of political life in the early republic. Here Bruce Burgett enters into debates over the "public sphere," a concept introduced by Jurgen Habermas that has led theorists to grapple with such polarities as public and private, polity and personality, citizenship and subjection. With the literary public sphere as his primary focus, Burgett sets out to challenge the Enlightenment opposition of reason and sentiment as the fundamental grid for understanding

    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.

    In confronting their tumultuous time, antebellum American writers often invoked unrevealable secrets. Five of Ralph Waldo Emerson's most inventive interlocutors - Melville, Hawthorne, Dickinson, Douglass and Jacobs - produced their most riveting political thought in response to Emerson's idea that moods fundamentally shape one's experience of the world, changing only through secret causes that no one fully grasps. In this volume, Dominic Mastroianni frames antebellum and Civil War literature within the history of modern philosophical skepticism, ranging from Descartes and Hume to Levinas and Cavell, arguing that its political significance lies only partially in its most overt engagement with political issues like slavery, revolution, reform, and war. It is when antebellum writing is most philosophical, figurative, and seemingly unworldly that its political engagement is most profound. Mastroianni offers new readings of six major American authors and explores the teeming archive of nineteenth-century print culture

    Ralph Waldo Emerson's dictum - 'The corruption of man is followed by the corruption of language' - belongs to a long tradition of writing connecting political disorders and the corruption of language that stretches back in Western culture. Representative Words, which gives an account of the tradition from its classical and Christian origins through the Enlightenment, is primarily a study of how and why Americans renewed and developed it between the ages of the Revolutionary and the Civil Wars. It is the first comprehensive treatment of the background to and the appearance of the wealth of theories about language in the early era of American political and cultural discourse. Professor Gustafson's argument demonstrates the interconnectedness of the state of language and the state of society and turns on the question of representation and misrepresentation - whether and how words represent or misrepresent nature, social reality, truth, and value in the new American experiment in representative republican government pt. I. The American logocracy : the nexus of word and act: 1. Political and linguistic representation : confidence or distrust? 2. Language and legal constitutions : the problem of change and who governs -- pt. II. Political and linguistic corruption : the ideological inheritance: 3. The classical pattern : from the order of Orpheus to the chaos of the Thucydidean moment. 4. The Christian typology : from Eden to Babel to Pentecost. 5. Eloquence, liberty, and power : civic humanism and the Counter-Renaissance. 6. The Enlightenment project : language reform and political order -- pt. III. The American language of revolution and constitutional change: 7. The language of revolution : combating misrepresentation with the pen and tongue. 8. The grammar of politics : the Constitution -- pt. IV. From Logomachy to civil war : the politics of language in pre-Revolutionary America: 9. The unsettled language : schoolmasters vs. truants. 10. Corrupt language and corrupt body politic, or the disunion of words and things. 11. Sovereign words vs. representative men

    Philip Gould investigates the cultural politics of historical memory in the early American republic, specifically the historical literature of Puritanism. By situating historical writing about Puritanism in the context of the cultural forces of Republicanism and liberalism, his study reconsiders the emergence of the historical romance in the 1820s, before the work of Nathaniel Hawthorne. This 1997 book not only aids the Americanist recovery of this literary period, but also brings together literary studies of historical fiction and historical scholarship of early Republican political culture; in doing so, it offers a persuasive account of just what is at stake when one reads literature of and about the past Introduction: the historicity of historical fiction -- The new Ebenezer: republican virtue, the puritan fathers, and early national history-writing -- Catharine Sedgwick's 'Recital' of the Pequot War -- Refashioning the Republic: gender, ideology, and the politics of virtue in Hobomok and Hope Leslie -- The Hive of America: James Fenimore Cooper's The Wept of Wish-ton-Wish and the History of King Philip's War -- Witch-hunting and the politics of reason -- Afterword: American origins of puritan selves
