The Complicity of Imagination examines the rich and complex
relationship between four nineteenth-century authors and the
culture and politics of seventeenth-century England. Challenging
the notion that antebellum Americans were burdened by a sense of
cultural inferiority in both their thought and their writing, this
1997 study portrays an American Renaissance whose writers were
deeply enough read in the literature and controversies of
seventeenth-century England to appropriate its cultural artifacts
for their own purposes. By exploring the broader cultural
implications of intertextual relationships, this book demonstrates
how literary texts participate in the artistic, political and
theological tensions within American culture.
