Max Cavitch begins by considering eighteenth-century elegists such as Franklin and Bradstreet. He then turns to elegy's adaptations during the Jacksonian age. Devoting unprecedented attention to the early African-American elegy, Cavitch sees in the poems the development of an African-American genealogical imagination. 606 $aElegiac poetry, American$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican poetry$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMourning customs in literature 606 $aGrief in literature 606 $aDeath in literature 615 0$aElegiac poetry, American$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMourning customs in literature. 615 0$aGrief in literature. 615 0$aDeath in literature. 676 $a811.009/3548 700 $aCavitch$b Max$01702332 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824692503321 996 $aAmerican elegy$94086783 997 $aUNINA
