Misery's Mathematics: Mourning, Compensation, and Reality in Antebellum American Literature - Literary Criticism and Cultural Theory
Balaam, Peter (Carleton College, USA)
This book reveals the strain of a moment in American cultural history that led several remarkable writers -- Emerson, Warner, and Melville -- to render loss in innovative ways. These three key writers rejected Calvinist and sentimental models of bereavement, creating instead the compensations of a mature American literature.
