Out of many, one. But how do the many
become one without sacrificing difference or
autonomy? This problem was critical to both
identity formation and state formation in late
eighteenth- and nineteenth-century America.
The premise of this book is that American
writers of the time came to view the resolution
of this central philosophical problem as no
longer the exclusive province of legislative
or judicial documents but capable of being
addressed by literary texts as well.
The project of
£
Pluribus Unum is twofold.
Its first and underlying concern is the general
philosophic problem of the one and the many
as it came to be understood at the time.
W. C. Harris supplies a detailed account of
the genealogy of the concept, exploring both
its applications and its paradoxes as a basis
for state and identity formation.
Harris then considers the perilous integration
of the one and the many as a motive in the
major literary accomplishments of nineteenth-
century U.S. writers. Drawing upon critical
as well as historical resources and upon
contexts as diverse as cosmology, epistemology,
poetics, politics, and Bible translation, he
discusses attempts by
Poe,
Whitman, Melville,
and William James to resolve the problems
of social construction caused by the paradox
of
e
pluribus unum by writing literary and
philosophical texts that supplement the nation s
political rounding documents.
Poe {Eureka),
Whitman {Leaves of Grass),
Melville {Billy BvM), and William James {The
Varieties of Religious Experience) provide
their own distinct, sometimes contradictory
resolutions to the conflicting demands of
diversity and unity, equality and hierarchy.
Each of these texts understands literary and
philosophical writing as having the potential
to transform
—
conceptually or actually
—
the
construction of social order.
