The legacies of the Civil War and Reconstruction remain a central
part of American life a century and a half later. Drawing together
leading scholars in literary studies and history, this volume
offers accessible treatments of major authors and genres of this
period, including Walt Whitman, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper,
Rebecca Harding Davis, Frederick Douglass, and Charles Chesnutt, as
well as fiction, poetry, drama, and life-writing. Although focused
on literature, this Companion also canvases battlefields,
homefronts, and hospitals, and discusses a range of topics,
including constitutional reform and presidential impeachment;
emancipation and Africa; material culture and monuments; education,
civil rights, and reenactment. The Cambridge Companion to the
Literature of the American Civil War and Reconstruction speaks
powerfully to literature's ability to help readers come to terms
with a violent, oppressive history while also imagining a different
future.
