First published between 1982 and 1983, this series examines the
peculiarly American cultural context out of which the nation's
literature has developed. Covering the years from 1865 to 1900,
this third volume of American Literature in Context focuses on the
struggles of American writers to make sense of their rapidly
changing world. In addition to such major figures as Walt Whitman,
Henry James, Emily Dickinson and Mark Twain, it analyses the
writings of an unorthodox economist (Henry George), a Utopian
reformer (Edward Bellamy) and a critical sociologist (Thorstein
Veblen). Particular attention is paid to the challenge to
conventional literary and cultural values represented by writers
such as William Dean Howell who pursued a new form of scientific,
democratic realism in American writing. This book will be of
interest to those studying American literature and American
studies.
