Philip Gould investigates the cultural politics of historical
memory in the early American republic, specifically the historical
literature of Puritanism. By situating historical writing about
Puritanism in the context of the cultural forces of Republicanism
and liberalism, his study reconsiders the emergence of the
historical romance in the 1820s, before the work of Nathaniel
Hawthorne. This 1997 book not only aids the Americanist recovery of
this literary period, but also brings together literary studies of
historical fiction and historical scholarship of early Republican
political culture; in doing so, it offers a persuasive account of
just what is at stake when one reads literature of and about the
past.
