Nineteenth-century American romance, as a genre, is defined by the
writings of a particular group of authors - James Fenimore Cooper,
Washington Irving, Charles Brockden Brown, Edgar Allan Poe,
Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, and Henry James - all of whom
are associated with one another in time and place. In this volume,
Emily Miller Budick examines the genre both as a style and within a
historical context. She interprets American romance as an evolving
literary aesthetic and cultural philosophy - as an effort by a
group of writers to produce what Noah Webster called an "American
tongue", a language imbued with the values of democracy and
pluralism.
