9780521842556 / Correspondence and American Literature, 1770–1865 (Cambridge Studies in American Literature and Culture, Series Number 146)
by Cambridge University Press (January 10, 2005) (Author)
Elizabeth Hewitt argues that many canonical American authors, including Jefferson, Emerson, Melville, Dickinson and Whitman, turned to letter-writing as an idealized genre through which to consider the challenges of American democracy before the Civil War. Hewitt maintains that, although correspondence is generally only conceived as a biographical archive, it must instead be understood as a significant genre through which these early authors made sense of social and political relations in the new nation.
