    "In the tumultuous decades of rapid expansion and change before the Civil War, Americans confronted a cluster of overlapping crises whose common theme was the difficulty of finding authority in written texts. Putting religious and literary studies in conversation, Jeff Smith presents key features of the writings, careers, and cultural politics of several prominent figures as responses to these 19th-century textual challenges. "Perpetual Scriptures" in Nineteenth-Century America explores several disruptive developments arrayed around the issue of textual authority: rising challenges to the traditional authority of the Bible; persistent worries over America's lack of a "national literature" and an independent national cultural identity; clashing interpretations of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution as they gradually became a kind of quasi-sacred secular canon; and, from the opposite direction, the rapid emergence of a new print culture that put a premium on mass-produced text that was immediate and urgent, but often unreliable. In so doing, Smith analyzes varied attempts to vindicate the sacred and merge the timeless with the immediate by religious and political leaders such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Joseph Smith, Margaret Fuller, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Frederick Douglass, and Abraham Lincoln. These men and women of letters helped define American literary culture as an ongoing quest for what Emerson called "a perpetual scripture," or new modes of written expression with high authority like the Bible's, but rooted in the real, ongoing experience of the nation and its people. This study ties together various movements and projects to show what was distinctively American about them and what they reveal about the inherent problems and limits of textual authority."

    In the tumultuous decades of rapid expansion and change between the American Founding and the Civil War, Americans confronted a cluster of overlapping crises whose common theme was the difficulty of finding authority in written texts. The issue arose from several disruptive developments: rising challenges to the traditional authority of the Bible in a society that was intensely Protestant; persistent worries over America s lack of a national literature and an independent cultural identity; and the slavery crisis, which provoked tremendous struggles over clashing interpretations of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, even as these parascriptures were rising to the status of a kind of quasi-sacred secular canon. At the same time but from the opposite direction, new mass media were creating a new, industrial-scale print culture that put a premium on very non-sacred, disposable text: mass-produced news, dispensed immediately and in huge quantities but meant only for the day or hour. Perpetual Scriptures in Nineteenth-Century America identifies key features of the writings, careers and cultural politics of several prominent Americans as responses to this cluster of challenges. In their varied attempts to vindicate the sacred and to merge the timeless with the urgent present, Joseph Smith, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Margaret Fuller, Theodore Parker, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Walt Whitman, Frederick Douglass, Martin Delany, Abraham Lincoln, and other religious and political leaders and men and women of letters helped define American literary culture as an ongoing quest for new bibles, or what Emerson called a perpetual scripture "Connecting several crucial developments in America's nationally formative period, this book shows how seemingly separate debates and movements in literature, religion, and politics reflect shared anxieties over the problem of textual authority"--

    In the tumultuous decades of rapid expansion and change between the American Founding and the Civil War, Americans confronted a cluster of overlapping crises whose common theme was the difficulty of finding authority in written texts. The issue arose from several disruptive developments: rising challenges to the traditional authority of the Bible in a society that was intensely Protestant; persistent worries over America s lack of a national literature and an independent cultural identity; and the slavery crisis, which provoked tremendous struggles over clashing interpretations of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, even as these parascriptures were rising to the status of a kind of quasi-sacred secular canon. At the same time but from the opposite direction, new mass media were creating a new, industrial-scale print culture that put a premium on very non-sacred, disposable text: mass-produced news, dispensed immediately and in huge quantities but meant only for the day or hour. Perpetual Scriptures in Nineteenth-Century America identifies key features of the writings, careers and cultural politics of several prominent Americans as responses to this cluster of challenges. In their varied attempts to vindicate the sacred and to merge the timeless with the urgent present, Joseph Smith, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Margaret Fuller, Theodore Parker, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Walt Whitman, Frederick Douglass, Martin Delany, Abraham Lincoln, and other religious and political leaders and men and women of letters helped define American literary culture as an ongoing quest for new bibles, or what Emerson called a perpetual scripture "Connecting several crucial developments in America's nationally formative period, this book shows how seemingly separate debates and movements in literature, religion, and politics reflect shared anxieties over the problem of textual authority"--
