Harlem stands as an imaginary with social and aesthetic influence in Paris, Africa, and the Caribbean. Detective fiction has become an important area for scholarship, both in the study of hard-boiled authors such as Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett and with respect to the interest in the genre shown by a variety of writers from Gertrude Stein to Rudolph Fisher and Pauline Hopkins. There are important new collections on Zora Neale Hurston, John Dos Passos, and H. P. Lovecraft this year, and new biographies of Jack London, Carl Van Vechten, Abraham Cahan, and the white women who played an important role in the Harlem Renaissance. The Critical Insights series has produced volumes on themes such as the American dream and American road literature and on genres, including pulp fiction, science fiction, and crime and detective fiction.","PeriodicalId":40078,"journal":{"name":"American Literary Scholarship","volume":"2013 1","pages":"263 - 284"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66077116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Spiller’s The Cycle of American Literature argued for the figural and historical typologies that help organize American Literary Scholarship and most other surveys, the period covered by this chapter had not even begun. Now, 58 years later, its parameters equal that of other eras. But does any reliable typification fit this latest epoch in the cavalcade of American letters? Has postmodernism arisen only to quickly fall? Has deconstruction undermined the critic’s ability to totalize? Perhaps these very instabilities are the most apt characterization of literary activity during the past six decades. At the very least, a spirit of debate has characterized the best scholarship of fiction written throughout these years.","PeriodicalId":40078,"journal":{"name":"American Literary Scholarship","volume":"2013 1","pages":"311 - 342"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66075108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
