History and Literary History: The Case of Mass Culture
I intend a straightforward exposition, although my subject is messy enough. I will offer readings of two simple texts; one is an ad for Quaker Oats and the other a story I will soon outline. Both appeared in the same issue of a popular American magazine in 1895. I argue that a reader cannot adequately understand either without grasping its relation to the other and to the ensemble of historical forces that
The Shaping of a Canon: U.S. Fiction, 1960-1975
Politics and Genre in Nonfiction Prose

It seems to be characteristic of p…
Speech, Literature, and the Space between
UR LIVES are glutted with words, and surfeit prompts revulsion from time to time. Then people cry down words and demand action instead. When Tom Hayden's sense of urgency lowered his tolerance for demonstrations and rallies some time back, it was typical of him to express impatience (in a speech, at a rally) by saying that he would probably never make another speech. When the time for guns is at hand, the time for words is past, we think. It is p…
