American Obscurantism: History and the Visual in U.S. Literature and Film
Lurie, Peter (Associate Professor of Film, Associate Professor of Film, University of Richmond)
American Obscurantism argues for a salutary indirection in US culture. Critiquing the impulse to see history in seminal works like Griffith's Birth of a Nation and the residual positivism of New Historicist methodology, the book challenges this shared visual epistemology . It traces meaningful exceptions to this pattern across canonical figures from US literature and film.
