Book Party
National Dreams and Rude Awakenings

Date: December 9th

Time: 4:00pm

Place: CHASS INTS 4133

National Dreams and Rude Awakenings brings 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.
