Addressing US literature from 1876 to 1910, this volume aims to
account for the period's immense transformations while troubling
the ideology of progress that underwrote much of its
self-understanding. This volume queries the various forms and
formations of post-Reconstruction American literature. It contends
that the literature of this period, most often referred to as
'turn-of-the-century' might be more productively oriented by the
end of Reconstruction and the haunting aftermath of its
emancipatory potential than by the logic of temporal and social
advance that underwrote the end of the century and the beginning of
the Progressive Era. Acknowledging that nearly all US literature
after 1876 might be described as post-Reconstruction, the volume
invites readers to reframe this period by asking: under what terms
did post-Reconstruction American literature challenge or
re-consolidate the 'nation' as an affective, political, and
discursive phenomenon? And what kind of alternative pasts and
futures did it write into existence?
