American
Literature Before
1880
offers a new approach to earlier American
Literature and a fresh interpretation of some of its major writers. It does so
by placing its subject in the broadest possible international perspective,
beginning with Homer, looking westward, and ending with Henry James
crossing the Atlantic eastwards. The author explains that the Europeans
imagined America long before they found it, and that when people began
to write in America their work existed in a dynamic, questioning relation
with European writing. The book begins by analysing earlier histories of
American literature, and then goes on to examine:
•
The theme of the epic, the imagery of the pastoral and the myth of
Atlantis
•
The projection of images of the East onto an as-yet unrecognised West
•
The literary and cultural consequences ofViking, Columbian, and then
English migration to America
•
The role of the arts and the key writers of the new Republic
•
The development of the culture of the United States between the War of
1812
and the Civil War
•
The consequences of the Civil War
The book ends by sketching some themes that would be developed by
American writers after
1880.
It also contains brief biographies and
bibliographies of key authors, and provides a welcome survey and analysis
of the richness,
varién·
and longevity of American literature.
Robert Lawson-Peebles was until recently Associate Dean of Academic
Partnerships at Exeter University, and is now a Senior Lecturer in its
School of English.
