The American Revolution and the Civil War bracket roughly eight
decades of formative change in a republic created in 1776 by a
gesture that was both rhetorical and performative. The subsequent
construction of U.S. national identity influenced virtually all art
forms, especially prose fiction, until internal conflict disrupted
the project of nation-building. This volume reassesses, in an
authoritative way, the principal forms and features of the emerging
American novel. It will include chapters on: the beginnings of the
novel in the US; the novel and nation-building; the publishing
industry; leading novelists of Antebellum America; eminent early
American novels; cultural influences on the novel; and subgenres
within the novel form during this period. This book is the first of
the three proposed US volumes that will make up Oxford's ambitious
new eleven-volume literary resource, The Oxford History of the
Novel in English (OHONE), a venture being commissioned and
administered on both sides of the Atlantic
