Transatlantic Visions and Revisions of Race
A strong argument can be made that Journal of an African Cruiser, by an Officer of U.S. Navy (1845) should be included in The Centenary Edition of Works of Nathaniel Hawthorne, for evidence indicates that his editing of manuscript of his friend Horatio Bridge was a major creative effort. When Hawthorne submitted edited text to Evert Duyckinck, who published book as first volume of Wiley and Putnam's of America Books, he admitted, My own share of …
Devils and rebels
Widely condemned even in his own time, Nathaniel Hawthorne's views on abolitionism and slavery are today frequently characterized by scholars as morally reprehensible. Devils and Rebels explores the historical and biographical record to reveal striking evidence of the author's true political values--values grounded in pacifism and resistant to the kind of binary thinking that could lead to violence and war. The book offers fresh readings of not o…

Even though considerable disagreement exists as to what those specifics encompass, there is a general sense that students should be monitored throughout the curriculum and that, by making admission decisions for students, the profession and ultimately the clients are…

More on Todorov, History, and High Moral Ground
I appreciate Tzvetan Todorov's recognition of modest critique I offered of his writings in South Central Review, though of course I'm dismayed by his impression that I do not understand sense of his arguments. In paragraphs below, I'll try to defend my account of his work and address some of new issues he raises in his present response. First of all, let me say I do not presume to know Todorov's intentions better than he does, so when he cites th…
Assaying the Historian's Moral Ground
Larry J. Reynolds, Assaying the Historian's Moral Ground: Todorov and the Question of Judgment, South Central Review, Vol. 15, No. 3/4, Tzvetan Todorov and the Writing of History (Autumn - Winter, 1998), pp. 20-29
The Literature of Labor and the Labors of Literature
The Literature of Labor and the Labors of Literature juxtaposes representations of labour in fictional texts and non-fictional texts in order to trace the intersections between aesthetic and economic discourse in nineteenth-century America. Both allegory and the new forms of labour produced a version of personhood that seemed frighteningly flat, a flatness that attacked the substance of the work ethic and, indeed, the very foundations of American…

These Sad but Glorious Days
European Revolutions and the American Literary Renaissance
Political issues and events have always acted as a catalyst on thought and art. In this pioneering study, Larry J. Reynolds argues that the European revolutions of 1848-49 quickened the American literary imagination and shaped the characters, plots, and themes of the American renaissance. He traces the impact of the revolutions on Emerson, Fuller, Hawthorne, Melville, Whitman, and Thoreau, showing that the upheavals abroad both inspired and distu…

Historicism Old and New
The Representation of the Self in the American Renaissance
Using the theories of Nietzche, Freud, Jung, and Lacan--as well as the critical insights of Derrida, Iser, Ricoeur, and others--Steele explains how Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Walt Whitman, and Margaret Fuller attempted to influence readers by promoting psychological myths that functioned as ontological paradigms. She also shows that the Transcendentalist myths of the psyche are most fully revealed in the works of Poe, Hawthorne, an…

W HEN Hawthorne wrote Scarlet Letter in the fall of A, (T I 849, the fact and idea of revolution were much on his mind. In The Custom-House sketch, while forewarning the reader of the darkness in the story to follow, he explains that this uncaptivating effect is perhaps due to the period of hardly accomplished revolution and still seething turmoil, in which the story shaped itself.' His explicit reference is to his recent ouster from the Salem Cu…

Antidemocratic Emphasis in White-Jacket
O NE OF THE MOST DISTINCTIVE FEATURES of Herman Melville's White-jacket (I850) is its fervent democratic tone. In numerous rhetorical passages Melville's narrator, White-Jacket, passionately affirms inherent dignity and equality of common sailors, people, and castigates naval officers who lord it over people and subject them to indignity and injustice. The speeches condemning flogging are particularly impassioned, and Melville's works only Ishmae…
