Sommario/riassunto

Lauter is one of the leading figures in the project known as Reconstructing American Literature. The essays in this book represent his effort to establish a theory of 'Canonical Criticism'. They reflect the eloquence and passion of a serious commitment to understanding and influencing the relationship between social justice, academic freedom, and literary history.
