American literature and the culture of reprinting, 1834-1853
The antebellum period has long been identified with the belated emergence of a truly national literature. Restoring a political dimension to accounts of the economic grounds of antebellum literature, this book presents the arguments and struggles that produced an American "culture of reprinting" and held it in place for two crucial decades.
