The book presents the writer as enthusiast, showing how enthusiasm is fundamental to the composition and the circulation of literature. Enthusiasm, it is argued, is the way literary value is passed on. Starting with a brief history of enthusiasm from Plato to Kant and Emerson, the book features chapters on each of Melville, Thoreau, Pound, Moore, O’Hara, and Schuyler. Each chapter presents an aspect of the writer as enthusiast, the book as a whole charting the changing sense of literary enthusiasm from Romanticism to the present day. Lucidly written and combatively argued, the book will appeal to readers of American Literature or Modern Poetry, and to all those interested in the circulation of literary work.Enthusiasm in literatureAmerican literatureHistory and criticismLiteraturemupLiterature: History & CriticismbicsscLITERARY CRITICISM / American / GeneralbisachLiterature: history & criticismthemaAmerican literaturefast(OCoLC)fst00807113Enthusiasm in literaturefast(OCoLC)fst00912708Electronic books.
