Still the New World: American Literature in a Culture of Creative Destruction
Philip Fisher
This provocative new way of accounting for the spirit of American literary tradition argues against the reduction of literature to identity questions of race, gender, and ethnicity. Ranging from roughly 1850 to 1940 the book reconsiders key works in the American canon—from Emerson, Whitman, and Melville, to Twain, Dos Passos, and Nathanael West.
