Matthew Scully, Democratic Anarchy
Matthew Scully’s Democratic Anarchy is a fascinating and provocative exploration of American literature in relation to democratic politics. It joins a wave of recent scholarship examining that subject (American Literary History’s 2023 special issue on “Democracy and the Novel in the US,” edited by Rachel Smith and Gordon Hutner, is one example among many) and undoubtedly motivated by current widespread concerns about threats to democracy in the U…

Flesh and Spirit in the Songs of Homer
In the epics of Homer people experience emotions, carry out thought, express themselves, suffer death, and survive in a shadowy afterlife.
