The Front Line in American War Literature
The Front Line in American War Literature
La littérature de guerre américaine a tendance à se concentrer sur l’expérience et le point de vue de soldats placés sur la ligne de front. Le présent article s’intéresse aux causes et conséquences de cette caractéristique centrale du genre. Il avance deux arguments liés : (1) La littérature de guerre américaine est centrée à la fois sur l’expérience du front et sur le défi que constitue la représentation de cette expérience ; et (2) cette caract…
American Literature in Transition, 1851–1877
Between 1851 and 1877, the U.S. underwent a whirlwind of change. This volume offers a fresh account of this important era, assessing the many developments - both major and minor - that transformed American literature. In a wide range of chapters, scholars re-examine literary history before, during, and after the Civil War, revealing significant changes not only in how literature is written but also in how it is conceived, distributed, and consume…
Crossings in Nineteenth-Century American Culture
The New Melville Studies
What does Melville studies look like after a phase of intense critical activity? This book addresses that question by analyzing Melville as a writer who was keenly interested in the pleasures, limits, and possibilities of various reading practices. It collects and assesses all of the major new trends in Melville studies. Essays, written by some of the leading scholars in the field, test out emerging critical methods. They explore Melville's centr…

Dickinson in the Anthropocene
Dickinson in the Anthropocene Cody Marrs (bio) To what extent can we read Emily Dickinson as a poet of the Anthropocene? Or to rephrase using the language of this special issue, is the Anthropocene—our contemporary geological era, marked by humanity's fateful emergence as a climatological force—among Dickinson's environments? The answer partly depends on how one periodizes the Anthropocene. The scientific body responsible for determining such mat…
Frederick Douglass in 1848
When revolutions rocked Europe in 1848, Frederick Douglass responded almost immediately by framing these movements across the Atlantic in global terms, connecting class strife in the Old World to the struggle over slavery in the New. Yet he also used the revolts of 1848 long after they had ended to discern other, related patterns of protest and repression in the slavery crisis of the 1850s, in the Civil War, and in the rise and fall of Radical Re…
Clarel and the American Centennial
A Wayward Art
Marrs's essay considers how Melville's Battle-Pieces and Aspects of the War (1866) provides an immanent account, or inside narrative, of the author's transition from novelist to poet. Focusing on the relation between his figurations of time and the structures of his verse, Marrs argues that Melville's turn to poetry originates not in a politico-aesthetic reversal or withdrawal-as some critics have argued-but rather in a revised understanding of h…
