Bucking the trend for revisionist interpretations, Loving discusses the major work of the 19th century's canonized writers as restorative adventures with the self and society.From Irving, Hawthorne, Melville, Poe, Thoreau, and Emerson to Whitman, Twain, Dickinson, James, Chopin, and Dreiser, Loving finAmerican literatureHistory and criticismTheory, etc19th centuryUnited StatesAuthorshipHistorySocial aspects19th centuryUnited StatesLiterature and societyHistory19th centurySelf in literatureCanon (Literature)American LiteratureHILCCEnglishHILCCLanguages & LiteraturesHILCCAmerican literatureHistory and criticismTheory, etcAuthorshipHistorySocial aspectsLiterature and societyHistorySelf in literature.Canon (Literature)American LiteratureEnglishLanguages & Literatures810.9/003810.9003Loving Jerome699911AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910958151703321Lost in the customhouse4362438UNINA
