together twenty important essays by the late Emory Elliott, a leading scholar
of American literature and American Studies for the past forty years.
Representing the key areas of Elliotts prolific career, this collection includes
essays on the Puritans and their legacy, politics and art in Melville and
Twain, the relationship between multiculturalism, aesthetics, and the literary
canon, and the importance of diversity and transnationalism in American
literary history and in the field of American Studies. With classic essays from
Elliotts career that helped transform American literary studies along with
his more recent essays that take the study of American literature and culture
in still new directions, this tribute to Elliotts work serves also as his
final contribution to the many ongoing scholarly conversations that he
influenced so significantly during his career.<br>
