| Zusammenfassung: | "Surface and Depth: The Quest for Legibility in American Culture is a fresh attempt to revitalize an interpretive overview. Focusing on the distinctly American zeal for knowing or making legible, it seeks to recuperate a central tradition while simultaneously recognizing how much that tradition has occluded." "Combining historical reconceptualization with readings of many of the classics of American literature, Michael Gilmore traces - from the time of the first white settlement and subsequent founding of the United States - the presence of a hitherto unappreciated inheritance. American culture has from the start been consumed with the imperatives of knowledge and accessibility, an insatiable appetite to explore the surface and depths and give them tangible form."--BOOK JACKET. |

idea of a common American culture has been in retreat for a generation or more. Arguments empha
sizing difference have discredited the grand synthetic studies, which often marginalized minority positions
and viewpoints. Surface and Depth: The Quest for Legibility in American
Culturéis
a fresh attempt to
revi
talize an interpretive overview. Focusing on the distinctly American zeal for knowing or making legible, it
seeks to recuperate a central tradition while simultaneously recognizing how much that tradition has
occluded. Combining historical «conceptualization with readings of American literature classics, Michael
Gilmore
traces from the time of the first white settlement the presence of a hitherto unappreciated
inheritance. American culture has from the start been consumed with the imperatives of accessibility, an
insatiable appetite to explore the surface and depths and give them tangible form. In a sweeping reinter
pretation of our literary and cultural heritage, Surface and Depth persuasively argues for the existence of a
fundamental coherence at the very foundation of twentieth- centurv American society.
