Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. na (illustrator). 1st Edition. The pre-Civil War period, identified by F. O. Matthiessen as the "American Renaissance" has long been recognized as the richest in America's literary history, the period that produced Emerson, Thoreau, Hawthorne, Melville, Poe, Whitman, and Dickinson. This study compares the major literature with a board range of lesser known works, combines literary analysis with social history, and discusses writings of various geographical regions and of both sexes. It attempts to bridge the gap between criticism that treats literature as self-referential and cultural history, in which the uniqueness of the literary text often gets lost.
