Writing and America surveys the writing genres that have
contributed to the American notions of America . Essays from
scholars from both side of the Atlantic chart the range of
responses to American nationhood from colonial times to the present
and include dissenting responses from communities such as native
American, black and feminist writers. Case studies from writers
such as James Fenimore Cooper and William Carlos Williams provide a
framework for discussions on topics such as colonial notions of
America as the promised land, the discourses of nationhood in the
republic, the sense of nationhood in American historiography, and
the formation of the American Canon. Draws upon extracts from the
American Bills of Rights and the Constitution as examples of
different types of writing.
