The Sense of an Endling
This essay explores an analogy between existential climate threats to Neanderthals and those to modern humans, comparing how scientific and fictional narratives address challenges of chronological scale and material cause. Scientific accounts of Neanderthals' extinction and modern humans' persistence have followed three narrative models: evolution in place, encounter and replacement, and recently, climate change. Paleofictions concerning Neandert…
Cultivating Peace
In Cultivating Peace, Melissa Schoenberger brings a classicist’s corrective to scholarship on the English georgic. The result is to detach much of what we have loosely regarded as Virgilian from Virgil. Beginning with John Philips’s Cyder (1708), Schoenberger argues, poets mistakenly read Virgil as intending his Georgics to “to impart a vision of imperial potency and rural bliss” and scholars have too readily followed suit (133). Schoenberger’s r…

The Civil War Dead and American ModernityBattle Lines
These four contributions to the ongoing critical reconsiderations invited by the sesquicentennials of the Civil War and Reconstruction find different meanings in different genres and media. In The Civil War Dead and American Modernity, Ian Finseth takes an exceptionalist turn on Anthony Giddens’s sociological account of modernity. For Giddens, spatial-temporal dislocation and social disembedding characterize life in industrial capitalist societie…
Nineteenth-Century American Literature and the Long Civil WarBelligerent Muse
As Cody Marrs observes in Nineteenth-Century American Literature and the Long Civil War, the Civil War functions as a dividing line that organizes our field through literary histories, course structure, anthologies, hiring practices, and so on. And yet the literature of the war itself has traditionally been marginalized by period constructs such as the American Renaissance, transcendentalism, or realism—and by more recent critiques that maintain …

Pastoral Landscape with Indians
After squanto taught the colonists at Plymouth in 1620 “both the manner how to set [their corn], and after how to dress and tend it,” Indians seem to have disappeared from the American pastoral scene, except as unwelcome intruders. Seventeen years later, writes William Bradford, “the Pequots fell openly on the English at Connecticut, in the lower parts of the river, and slew sundry of them as they were at work in the fields.” Mary Rowlandson open…
