This monograph explores transatlantic literary culture by tracing
the proliferation of 'new media,' such as the anthology, the
literary history and the magazine, in the period between 1750 and
1850. The fast-paced media landscape out of which these publishing
genres developed produced the need of a 'memory of literature' and
a concomitant rhetoric of remembering strikingly similar to what
today is called a cultural memory debate. Thus, rather than
depicting the emergence of an American national literature, The
Rise of New Media(1750-1850) combines impulses from media history,
the history of print, the sociology of literature and canon theory
to uncover nascent forms and genres of literary self-reflectivity
and early stirrings of a canon debate in the Atlantic World.
