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 fin 606 $aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc$y19th century$zUnited States 606 $aAuthorship$xHistory$xSocial aspects$y19th century$zUnited States 606 $aLiterature and society$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aSelf in literature 606 $aCanon (Literature) 606 $aAmerican Literature$2HILCC 606 $aEnglish$2HILCC 606 $aLanguages & Literatures$2HILCC 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc 615 0$aAuthorship$xHistory$xSocial aspects 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 615 0$aSelf in literature 615 0$aCanon (Literature) 615 7$aAmerican Literature 615 7$aEnglish 615 7$aLanguages & Literatures 676 $a810.9/003 676 $a810.9003 700 $aLoving$b Jerome$0699911 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456430803321 996 $aLost in the Customhouse$92106373 997 $aUNINA
