Above the American Renaissance takes David S. Reynolds's classic
study Beneath the American Renaissance as a model and a provocation
to consider how language and concepts broadly defined as spiritual
are essential to understanding nineteenth-century American literary
culture. In the 1980s, Reynolds's scholarship and methodology
enlivened investigations of religious culture, and since then, for
reasons that include a rising respect for interdisciplinarity and
the aftershocks of the 9/11 attacks, religion in literature has
become a major area of inquiry for Americanists. In essays that
reconsider and contextualize Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, Harriet
Beecher Stowe, Herman Melville, Abraham Lincoln, and others, this
volume captures the vibrancy of spiritual considerations in
American literary studies and points a way forward within literary
and spiritual investigations. In addition to the editors and David
S. Reynolds, contributors include Jeffrey Bilbro, Dawn Coleman,
Jonathan A. Cook, Tracy Fessenden, Zachary Hutchins, Richard
Kopley, Mason I. Lowance Jr., John Matteson, Christopher N.
Phillips, Vivian Pollak, Michael Robertson, Gail K. Smith, Claudia
Stokes, and Timothy Sweet.
