Doctrine and Difference: Essays in the Literature of New England

Autor Michael J. Colacurcio
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 dec 1996
The enduring power of many antebellum American texts trace their inspiration to Puritanism. From Melville's preposterous but irresponsible quarrels with God to Hawthorne's instructed yet edgy evocations of earlier New England, to Dickinson's finely turned little blasphemies. Can one imagine that such texts were written anywhere but in the latter days of Puritanism? Doctrine and Difference shows how the spirit and forms of liberalism are a necessary but by no means sufficient explanation for the flowering of literature in this period. The colonialist writers were attempting to have things their own provincial way amidst an air of rejection by the cosmopolitan literary establishment. Capturing the violence of repression, the energy required to meet its moral argument head on, and the disease of embattled survival, this book shows how these works are in many ways the literary remnants of Puritanism.

Notă biografică

Michael J. Colacurcio received his AB (1958) in Philosophy and MA (1959) in English from Xavier University in Cincinnati; taking his Ph.D. (1963) at the University of Illinois, he began teaching American Literature at Cornell University, winning a distinguished teaching award in 1974. Following a series of essays on classic American authors, he published his study of Hawthorne’s early tales, The Province of Piety (1984). Moving to UCLA in 1985, he brought out Doctrine and Difference: Studies in the Literature of New England in l997 with Routledge. He received a teaching award in 2001 and was promoted to Distinguished Professor in 2002; he was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2007. Godly Letters: Studies in the Literature of the American Puritans appeared in 2006. Religion and its Reformation in America, an anthology of religious texts from 1600 to 1730, appeared in 2020—as did a two-volume critical study called Emerson and Other Minds. Forthcoming is a volume of Colacurcio’s collected essays on Hawthorne called Hawthorne’s Histories, Hawthorne’s World and, in the planning stage, a monograph entitled Puritanism and American Literature.
