Correspondence and American Literature, 1770-1865 - Cambridge Studies in American Literature and Culture
Hewitt, Elizabeth (Ohio State University)
Elizabeth Hewitt uncovers the centrality of letter-writing to antebellum American literature. She argues that many canonical American authors, including Jefferson, Emerson, Melville, Dickinson and Whitman, turned to the epistolary form as an idealised genre with which to consider the challenges of American democracy before the Civil War.
