I If America worships success, then why has the nation s literature dwelled
obsessively on failure? This book explores encounters with failure by
nineteenth-century writers
-
ranging from Edgar Allan
Poe
and Herman
Melville to Mark Twain and Sarah
Orne Jewett
-
whose celebrated works more
often struck readers as profoundly messy, flawed, and even perverse. Reading
textual inconsistency against the backdrop of a turbulent nineteenth century,
Gavin Jones describes how the difficulties these writers faced in their faltering
search for new styles, coherent characters, and satisfactory endings uncovered
experiences of blunder and inadequacy hidden in the culture at large. Through
Jones s treatment, these American writers emerge as the great theorists of
failure who discovered ways to translate their own social insecurities into
complex portrayals of a modern self, founded in moral fallibility, precarious
knowledge, and negative feelings.
