Politics and Skepticism in Antebellum American Literature - Cambridge Studies in American Literature and Culture
Mastroianni, Dominic (Clemson University, South Carolina)
This volume explores the way in which antebellum American writers perceived the political implications of modern philosophical skepticism. Dominic Mastroianni offers new readings of six major American authors - Emerson, Melville, Hawthorne, Dickinson, Douglass and Jacobs - and illumines their thinking about revolution, civil war, and the world's susceptibility to transformation.
