A Literature Without Qualities
In the Time Before Steamships
The Way We Think Now
T HE nouvelle vague of system-prepensive criticism has been flowing from Europe to the accommodating American shore long enough to have become itself a period phenomenon deserving systemic examination. And the rubric for this number of New Literary History offers a convenient occasion, for it fixes on one of the great fighting issues critical history. That literature and the arts general do not represent a debasement or trivialization of what the…

Our Means Will Make Us Means
CERTAIN GENERAL IDEAS about critical priorities and procedures govern the form I have given this essay. One is of character, in the sense proposed in this first section, as a primary nucleus and reactor for the achieved integrals of literary meaning and value. Another concerns the necessary dependence of any profitable theorizing about literature on concrete acts of authorship and of reading (and ongoing histories of such acts), a relationship wh…
Wallace Stevens
Witness and Testament
MATTER of interest for literary historians: have any recent American books made a stronger impression on the consciousness of people who read literature than The Autobiography of Malcolm X, published posthumously in 1965, and The Armies of the Night, Norman Mailer's chronicle of the Pentagon march published in 1968? Characteristically both books seem part and parcel of the civil turbulence of the past decade in American life. To offer speculation…

The Example of Melville
Renan on W. E. Channing and American Unitarianism
T HE call by Mr. Sidney Ahlstrom, in the March 1957 QUARTERLY, for a new look at William Ellery Channing deserves to be seconded; for Channing, surely, is one of the few significant individuals in our literature before the late 183o's, and we have not yet got hold of him. There is a mystery, as Mr. Ahlstrom puts it. The man Channing we probably apprehend as well as we are going to, thanks to the numerous memorials of his contemporaries and to Cha…
"Certain Phenomenal Men"
The Art of Jewett's Pointed Firs
S OMEWHAT of a curiosity in American letters, the considerable reputation of Sarah Orne Jewett's The Country of the Pointed Firs survives and holds its own in a less and less congenial era-as the best work of a scrupulous minor artist forgivably overpraised by personal admirers, a little masterpiece (Edward Garnett's verdict) but within the limits of the local color school. Willa Gather's generous estimate is the noted instance and may serve to r…
The Dream of Arcadia
Clarence King
Adventures of the Young Man
THOUGH THE novels of Brockden Brown were never widely popular, they held the attention of a surprising number of Brown's juniors and betters, and because they did, it is not possible to remain content with the usual evaluation of Brown's achievement. Shelley's extravagant admiration, recorded in Peacock's memoir, is the notorious instance, but even the Edinburgh Review looked back on Brown, two decades after his death, as ''a man of genius, one o…

Charles Brockden Brown's Historical "Sketches". A Consideration
A MONG THE manuscripts before unpublished which Paul Allen D\and William Dunlap put into print in the memorial Life of Charles Brockden Brown, the longest and most curious are those presented as Sketches of a History of Carsol and Sketches of a History of the Carrils and Ormes.1 These quasi-historical chronicles are given to us in puzzling disorder; whether the disorder was Brown's fault or his editors' is only one of the problems they raise. Whe…
