More about the book
The book reexamines American literary nationalism, traditionally viewed as a unified tradition, by highlighting the complexities and conflicts within late eighteenth- and nineteenth-century literature. Robert S. Levine emphasizes the multiracial and contingent aspects of works by American and African American writers, arguing that conflict and uncertainty, rather than consensus, were pivotal in shaping the identity of American literary nationalism during this era.
