This focus on lesser-known works and neglected authors reveals a shifting literary canon that highlights current concerns. Although aesthetic, rhetorical, and structural analyses continue to serve as a methodology, art for art’s sake has taken a backseat to art as cultural artifact, whether the artifact be an unfamiliar poem or a once popular novel. Nowhere is this trend more obvious than in the field of African American literature, but even in the examination of realists and naturalists, we find a focus on neglected authors and forgotten works. In this recovery of overlooked texts, there is an emphasis not only on lesser-known compositions but also on why the compositions have been neglected. As the subject of more scholar studies than any other author of the period, Charlotte Perkins Gilman is the late-19th-century author of the year, a fact that further exemplifies the shifting canon.","PeriodicalId":40078,"journal":{"name":"American Literary Scholarship","volume":"2017 1","pages":"247 - 268"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42776767","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}

As in 2016, book-length studies are popular, especially collections, with John Steinbeck, James Agee, Vladimir Nabokov, James Baldwin, and H. P. Lovecraft each the topic of a gathering of critical essays, Ray Bradbury a critical story edition, Agee a volume of film criticism, and Frank Waters a book of letters. The Beat movement and Saul Bellow are honored with Cambridge Companions and Steinbeck with a long overdue volume of East European translations. Ralph Ellison, Nabokov, Lovecraft, and Southern women writers are the topics of monographs. The FBI files of James Baldwin and Pearl S. Buck are of interest to scholars along with such usual topics as Cold War culture, race, religion, photography, comparative studies, cinema, ecology, gender, rhetoric, and pedagogy. As in recent years, proletarians, Southern writers, and expatriates and émigrés continue to dominate much of the critical debate on modern fiction.","PeriodicalId":40078,"journal":{"name":"American Literary Scholarship","volume":"2017 1","pages":"291 - 316"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66077860","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}

While the Puritans take center stage in studies centered on the years before 1700, scholars interrogate a wide variety of texts and authors from the 18th century from an impressive array of theoretical and historical approaches. Poets, British Loyalists, novelists, and plantation owners are all placed under the literary lens of investigation. Though Susanna Rowson and Charles Brockden Brown remain perennial favorites, scholars also scrutinize other and lesser-known writers of fiction. Some interests across the field coalesce around such topics as the American gothic, disabilities studies, and the book trade. Though the work of bringing to light new authors—particularly from marginalized groups—is an ongoing project, new knowledge emerges regarding familiar texts, and well-known authors are given fresh understanding through investigations of their lesser-known works.","PeriodicalId":40078,"journal":{"name":"American Literary Scholarship","volume":"2017 1","pages":"207 - 220"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42748700","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}
