Contents The problem of American literary scholarship -- Reading the tradition: the rhetoric of transcendentalist scholarship -- Time and textuality: Between metaphor and metaphysics: reading Emerson as "onward thinking" ; Writing in/as history: Thoreau's Week -- American literary scholarship for the twentieth century.
Summary This monograph argues that the institution of American literary scholarship enshrines a reactionary view of history and narrative and an unrealistic view of America itself. The author also examines contemporary debates about the methods and status of literary history in general.
