Fictions of Mass Democracy in Nineteenth-Century America - Cambridge Studies in American Literature and Culture
Margolis, Stacey (University of Utah)

It demonstrates how novels by Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, Fanny Fern, Harriet Jacobs and James Fenimore Cooper attempt to understand a public organized by political discourse and informal social networks.
