Inspired by Toni Morrison's call for an interracial approach to
American literature, and by recent efforts to globalize American
literary studies, Race, Transnationalism, and Nineteenth-Century
American Literary Studies ranges widely in its case-study approach
to canonical and non-canonical authors. Leading critic Robert S.
Levine considers Cooper, Hawthorne, Stowe, Melville, and other
nineteenth-century American writers alongside less well known
African American figures such as Nathaniel Paul and Sutton Griggs.
He pays close attention to racial representations and ideology in
nineteenth-century American writing, while exploring the inevitable
tension between the local and the global in this writing. Levine
addresses transatlanticism, the Black Atlantic, citizenship,
empire, temperance, climate change, black nationalism, book
history, temporality, Kantian transnational aesthetics, and a
number of other issues. The book also provides a compelling
critical frame for understanding developments in American literary
studies over the past twenty-five years.
