Preaching and the Rise of the American Novel

by Dawn Coleman

Coleman's book highlights the intersection of two cultural trajectories in America around 1850, both often downplayed in literary histories: a boom in preaching, associated with the growth of evangelicalism and the country's oratorical traditions, and the long struggle of the novel to achieve moral legitimacy and aesthetic autonomy.
