American Literature and American Identity addresses the crucial
issue of identity formation, especially national identity, in
influential works of American literature. Patrick Colm Hogan uses
techniques of cognitive and affective science to examine the
complex and often highly ambivalent treatment of American identity
in works by Melville, Cooper, Sedgwick, Apess, Stowe, Jacobs,
Douglass, Hawthorne, Poe, and Judith Sargeant Murray. Hogan focuses
on the issue of how authors imagined American
identity-specifically, as universal, democratic egalitarianism-in
the face of the nation's clear and often brutal inequalities of
race and sex. In the course of this study, Hogan advances our
understanding of nationalism in general, American identity in
particular, and the widely read literary works he examines.
