    Robert Levine has examined the American romance in a historical context. His book offers a fresh reading of the genre, establishing its importance to American culture between the founding of the republic and the Civil war. With convincing historical and literary detail, Levine shows that anxieties about various subversive elements - French revolutionaries, secret societies, Catholic immigrants, African slaves - are central to the fictional worlds of Brockden Brown, Cooper, Hawthorne and Melville. Ormond, The Bravo, The Blithedale Romance, and Benito Cereno are persuasively explicated by Levine to demonstrate that the romance addressed many of the same conflicts and ideals that gave rise to the American republic. Americans conceived of America as a romance, and their romances dramatised the historical conditions of the culture, The fear that conspiracies would subvert the order and integrity of the new nation were recurrent and widespread; Levine makes us see that these fears informed the works of our major romance writers from the turn of the century until the Civil War

    This book traces the tradition of American historical fiction from its origins in the early nineteenth century to the eve of World War II. It examines the historical novel's connections with Enlightenment and Romantic theories of history; with the rise of literary regionalism; with the ambitions of Romantic writers to revive the epic and romance; with changing conceptions of gender roles; and with the authors' troubled responses to the great revolutionary and imperialistic conflicts of the modern era. However, though inevitably much concerned with the theory of genre and with the specific contents of the genre of historical romance, Professor Dekker devotes most of his book to new readings of major texts by James Fenimore Cooper, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, Mark Twain, Allen Tate, Edith Wharton, Willa Cather, and William Faulkner, as well as to the Briton whose name was synonymous with the genre for most of the nineteenth century - Sir Walter Scott. 'The American Historical Romance is the richest, most fully meditated and most rewarding yet written by this author ... It is the most important book on the relations of British and American fiction to come out for many years. No devotee of the American novel will ignore it.' -- The Times Literary Supplement The American historical romance: a prospectus -- The Waverley-model and the rise of historical romance -- Historical romance and the stadialist model of progress -- The regionalism of historical romance -- Hawthorne and the ironies of New England history -- Melville: the red comets return -- The hero and heroine of historical romance -- The historical romance of the South -- Retrospect: departures and returns

    In this 1991 book, Joel Porte examines nineteenth-century literature, focusing on the general question of the American Romantic ego and its varying modalities of self-creation, self-display, self-projection, and self-concealment. The book begins by exploring the status of the 'text' in nineteenth-century American writing, the relationship of 'rhetorical' reading to historical context, and the nature of 'Romanticism' in an American setting. Porte then concentrates on the great authors of the period through a series of thematically linked but critically discrete essays on Brown, Irving, Parkman, Cooper, Poe, Emerson, Hawthorne, Thoreau, Melville, Douglass, Stowe, Whitman, and Dickinson. Throughout his important new study, Porte offers provocative reassessments of familiar texts while at the same time casting an illuminating critical eye on less well-known territory. Readers of this book will come away with increased respect for the achievement of American Romantic writers "Where ... is this singular career to terminate?" : bewildered Pilgrims in early American fiction -- "Where there is no vision, the people perish ..." : prophets and pariahs in the forest of the New World -- Poe : romantic center, critical margin -- Emerson : experiments in self-creation -- Hawthorne : "The obscurest man of letters in America" -- Thoreau's self-perpetuating artifacts -- Melville : romantic cock-and-bull, or, the great art of telling the truth -- Douglass and Stowe : scriptures of the redeemed self -- Whitman : "Take me as I am or not at all ..." -- Interchapter : Walt and Emily -- Dickinson's "celestial vail" : snowbound in self-consciousness

    The first book devoted to Coleridge’s influence on Emerson and the development of American Transcendentalism. As Samantha Harvey demonstrates, Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s thought galvanized Emerson at a pivotal moment in his intellectual development in the years 1826-1836, giving him new ways to harmonize the Romantic triad of nature, spirit and humanity. Emerson did not think about Coleridge: he thought with Coleridge, resulting in a unique case of assimilative influence. In addition to examining his specific literary, philosophical, and theological influences on Emerson, this book reveals Coleridge’s centrality for Boston Transcendentalism and Vermont Transcendentalism, a movement which profoundly affected the development of modern higher education, the national press, and the emergence of Pragmatism Transatlantic transcendentalism -- Coleridge and Boston transcendentalism -- Nature : philosophy and the "riddle of the world" -- The landing place : "distinguishing without dividing" and Coleridge's method -- Humanity : "art is the mediatree, the reconciliator of man and nature" -- Spirit : "an influx of the divine mind" -- Emerson's Nature : Coleridge's method and the romantic triad -- Coleridge and Vermont transcendentalism

    ""The world is so sad and solemn,"" wrote Nathaniel Hawthorne, ""that things meant in jest are liable, by an overwhelming influence, to become dreadful earnest; gaily dressed fantasies turning to ghostly and black-clad images of themselves."" From the radical dualism of Hawthorne's vision, Samuel Coale argues, springs a continuing tradition in the American novel. In Hawthorne's Shadow is the first critical study to describe precisely the formal shape of Hawthorne's psychological romance and to explore his themes and images in relation to such contemporary writers as John Cheever, Norman Mailer

    In this 1991 book, Joel Porte examines nineteenth-century literature, focusing on the general question of the American Romantic ego and its varying modalities of self-creation, self-display, self-projection, and self-concealment. The book begins by exploring the status of the 'text' in nineteenth-century American writing, the relationship of 'rhetorical' reading to historical context, and the nature of 'Romanticism' in an American setting. Porte then concentrates on the great authors of the period through a series of thematically linked but critically discrete essays on Brown, Irving, Parkman, Cooper, Poe, Emerson, Hawthorne, Thoreau, Melville, Douglass, Stowe, Whitman, and Dickinson. Throughout his important new study, Porte offers provocative reassessments of familiar texts while at the same time casting an illuminating critical eye on less well-known territory. Readers of this book will come away with increased respect for the achievement of American Romantic writers "Where ... is this singular career to terminate?" : bewildered Pilgrims in early American fiction -- "Where there is no vision, the people perish ..." : prophets and pariahs in the forest of the New World -- Poe : romantic center, critical margin -- Emerson : experiments in self-creation -- Hawthorne : "The obscurest man of letters in America" -- Thoreau's self-perpetuating artifacts -- Melville : romantic cock-and-bull, or, the great art of telling the truth -- Douglass and Stowe : scriptures of the redeemed self -- Whitman : "Take me as I am or not at all ..." -- Interchapter : Walt and Emily -- Dickinson's "celestial vail" : snowbound in self-consciousness

    The first book devoted to Coleridge’s influence on Emerson and the development of American Transcendentalism. As Samantha Harvey demonstrates, Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s thought galvanized Emerson at a pivotal moment in his intellectual development in the years 1826-1836, giving him new ways to harmonize the Romantic triad of nature, spirit and humanity. Emerson did not think about Coleridge: he thought with Coleridge, resulting in a unique case of assimilative influence. In addition to examining his specific literary, philosophical, and theological influences on Emerson, this book reveals Coleridge’s centrality for Boston Transcendentalism and Vermont Transcendentalism, a movement which profoundly affected the development of modern higher education, the national press, and the emergence of Pragmatism Transatlantic transcendentalism -- Coleridge and Boston transcendentalism -- Nature : philosophy and the "riddle of the world" -- The landing place : "distinguishing without dividing" and Coleridge's method -- Humanity : "art is the mediatree, the reconciliator of man and nature" -- Spirit : "an influx of the divine mind" -- Emerson's Nature : Coleridge's method and the romantic triad -- Coleridge and Vermont transcendentalism

    This book traces the tradition of American historical fiction from its origins in the early nineteenth century to the eve of World War II. It examines the historical novel's connections with Enlightenment and Romantic theories of history; with the rise of literary regionalism; with the ambitions of Romantic writers to revive the epic and romance; with changing conceptions of gender roles; and with the authors' troubled responses to the great revolutionary and imperialistic conflicts of the modern era. However, though inevitably much concerned with the theory of genre and with the specific contents of the genre of historical romance, Professor Dekker devotes most of his book to new readings of major texts by James Fenimore Cooper, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, Mark Twain, Allen Tate, Edith Wharton, Willa Cather, and William Faulkner, as well as to the Briton whose name was synonymous with the genre for most of the nineteenth century - Sir Walter Scott. 'The American Historical Romance is the richest, most fully meditated and most rewarding yet written by this author ... It is the most important book on the relations of British and American fiction to come out for many years. No devotee of the American novel will ignore it.' -- The Times Literary Supplement The American historical romance: a prospectus -- The Waverley-model and the rise of historical romance -- Historical romance and the stadialist model of progress -- The regionalism of historical romance -- Hawthorne and the ironies of New England history -- Melville: the red comets return -- The hero and heroine of historical romance -- The historical romance of the South -- Retrospect: departures and returns
