George Dekker
Traces the tradition of American historical fiction from its origins in the early 19th century to the eve of World War II. This book examines the historical novel's connections with Enlightenment and Romantic theories of history; with the rise of literary regionalism; and with the ambitions of Romantic writers to revive the epic and romance.
