| Summary: | Doctrine and Difference: The Thematic Scale of Classic American Literature aims to expand and deepen our knowledge into the inquiry of "contextual historicism," observing writers of the American nineteenth century, and their vastly differing approaches to perceptions such as race, gender and national identity. Ranging from the religious acuities of the first American Puritans to the more secularized literary awakening of the American Renaissance, and into late-century texts that deliberately resist the limits of received religious and political opinion, this volume seeks to uncover a history of human thought within classic American Literature. This volume critically observes these survivable works of literature, presenting insight into the "difference" made by conversation, dispute and dramatized self-doubt within novels and poems of the historical past. |
