| Summary: | "Doctrine and Difference: Readings in Classic American Literature is the second and culminating volume to a project that began in 1997, with an aim to study the authors of what was previously called "The American Renaissance". While Volume I spanned from the 17th century to 1850, Volume II begins with Emerson, Hawthorne and Poe in the 1840s, moves on to look at Hawthorne and Melville in the 1850s, and ends with Emerson in 1860, alongside cutting-edge critical context. Reading Nineteenth-Century Authors leaves the Puritans of the previous volume behind to focus on later writings from a wider set of American Renaissance authors and the relations among them: Melville on Hawthorne, Hawthorne on Emerson, Hawthorne on Poe. It re-confirms how deeply interwoven these authors' works became, and how far reading them together in the light of their shared inheritance makes the study of them more important than ever in the ongoing interpretation of American literature"-- |
