Between 1780 and 1800,authors of
imaginative literature in the new United
States wanted to assert that their works, which
bore obvious connections to anglophone
literature on the far side of the Atlantic,
nevertheless constituted a properly “American”
tradition. No one had yet figured out, however,
what it would mean to write like an American,
what literature with an American origin would
look like, nor what literary characteristics the
elusive quality of Americanness could generate.
Literaturey American Style returns to this
historical moment—decades before the romantic
nationalism of Cooper, the transcendentalism
of Emerson and Thoreau, and the iconoclastic
poetics of Whitman—when a fantasy about
the unique characteristics of U.S. literature first
took shape, and when that notion was linked to
literary style.
While late eighteenth-century U.S. literature
advertised itself as the cultural manifestation
of a radically innovative nation, Ezra Tawil
argues, it was not primarily marked by
invention or disruption. In fact, its authors
self-consciously imitated European literary
traditions while adapting them to a new cultural
environment. These writers gravitated to the
realm of style, then, because it provided a
way of sidestepping the uncomfortable reality
of cultural indebtedness; it was their use of
style that provided a way of departing from
European literary precedents. Tawil analyzes
Noah Webster s plan to reform the American
tongue; J. Hector St.John de Crevecoeurs
fashioning of an extravagantly naive American
style from well-worn topoi; Charles Brockden
Browns adaptations of the British gothic; and
the marriage of seduction plots to American
“plain style” in works such as Susanna Rows on s
Charlotte Temple and Hannah Webster Foster s
The Coquette. Each of these works claims to
embody something “American” in style yet,
according to Tawil, remains legible only in the
context of stylistic, generic, and conceptual
forms that animated English cultural life
through the century.
