Consideration of global and transnational contexts is particularly fruitful in Ricardo Miguel-Alfonso and David LaRocca’s edited collection, A Power to Translate the World: New Essays on Emerson and International Culture. The trend in contextualizing Thoreau and others in science studies has a remarkable boost in Richard B. Primack’s Walden Warming: Climate Change Comes to Thoreau’s Woods. Engagement with social and political thought remains strong as well with a special issue of Nineteenth-Century Prose dedicated to Fuller and several strong essays on Theodore Parker.","PeriodicalId":40078,"journal":{"name":"American Literary Scholarship","volume":"2016 1","pages":"22 - 3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44663115","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}

A significant majority of these consider Faulkner alongside a specific contextual category— Faulkner and his geographies, Faulkner and the funeral industry, and Faulkner and the media, to name just a few. Two particular pairings stand out, both for the frequency with which they appear and for their continued prominence over the past few years. The first is Faulkner and film. This year’s contributions add an expanded emphasis on the wider “media ecology,” adding new depth to Faulkner’s relationship to the changing media landscape. The second is Faulkner and the global South. By considering Faulkner and geography more widely, several of this year’s contributions allow readers to consider the global South in wider and more complex terms.","PeriodicalId":40078,"journal":{"name":"American Literary Scholarship","volume":"2015 1","pages":"133 - 151"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48894259","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}

A common denominator for much of this year’s criticism, however, is review and revision—fresh readings, fresh connections, and fresh observations abound. Genre, political engagement, national figures, conservationism, identity, boundaries, literary tradition, and rhetoric, among others, all assume prominence in one or more studies and appear in new light. Despite this significant engagement with revision, there is also a sense of the familiar: many of the figures and works under scrutiny are well known and often read. Studies of lesser-known figures and lesser-read works in all genres clearly stepped into the background this year, and a renewal of rediscovery of unread texts and authors is needed.","PeriodicalId":40078,"journal":{"name":"American Literary Scholarship","volume":"2015 1","pages":"179 - 193"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48125118","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 some scholars continue to examine Melville’s deepdiving engagement with world literature, religion, and philosophy, others apply the latest critical trends in affect theory, cognitive studies, temporal studies, queer theory, and geographical studies to his major and minor works. Highlights include a new edition of documentary sources that adds to the biographical resources for study of Melville’s life and career, a monograph that examines his interest in religion throughout his career, and a comparative study of Melville, Jonathan Edwards, and Edgar Allan Poe that examines the metaphysical implications of terror in their work. Interest in Melville’s poetry also continues to be strong, with a special issue on Melville and the Civil War.","PeriodicalId":40078,"journal":{"name":"American Literary Scholarship","volume":"2015 1","pages":"33 - 44"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44649315","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}
