The Nineteenth Century Revis(it)ed: The New Historical Fiction
explores the renaissance of the American historical novel at the
turn of the twenty-first century. The study examines the revision
of nineteenth-century historical events in cultural products
against the background of recent theoretical trends in American
studies. It combines insights of literary studies with scholarship
on popular culture. The focus of representation is the long
nineteenth century - a period from the early republic to World War
I - as a key epoch of the nation-building project of the United
States. The study explores the constructedness of historical
tradition and the cultural resonance of historical events within
the discourse on the contemporary novel and the theory formation
surrounding it. At the center of the discussion are the
unprecedented literary output and critical as well as popular
success of historical fiction in the USA since 1995. An additional
postcolonial and transatlantic perspective is provided by the
incorporation of texts by British and Australian authors and
especially by the inclusion of insights from neo-Victorian studies.
The book provides a critical comment on current and topical
developments in American literature, culture, and historiography.
