Book excerpt: Excerpt from Views and Reviews in American Literature, History and Fiction History But these excuses can be urged no longer, nor is it necessary that they should. Europe must cease to taunt us because of our prolonged servility to the imperious genius of the Old World. We must set ourselves free from the tyranny of this genius, and the time has come when we must do so. We have our own na tional mission to perform - a mission commensurate to the extent of our country, - its resources and possessions, - and the numer ous nations, foreign and inferior, all about us, over whom we are required to extend our sway and guardianship. We are now equal to this sway and guardianship. The inferior necessities of our condition have been overcome. The national mind is now free to rise to the consideration of its superior wants and more elevated aims; and individuals, here and there, are starting out from the ranks of the multitude, ready and able to lead out, from the bondage of foreign guidance, the genius which, hitherto, be cause Of its timidity, knew nothing of its own resources for flight and conquest.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Views and Reviews in American Literature, History and Fiction History The papers contained in the two volumes, of which the present is the first instalment, are drawn from numerous contributions which have been made to the periodical literature of the country in the last fifteen years. They are taken from the pages of the Southern and American Quarterly Reviews; from the American Monthly and the Knickerbocker Magazines; from the Magnolia, Orion. Southern and Western Review, and from other publications of like character. I have detached them, with a single eye to their national objects and characteristics. They constitute a class, in themselves, illustrative of our history, our materials of art, the moral of our aims, and the true development of our genius. They appeal to the utilitarian, not less than to the person of taste. They aim at showing what may be done among us, and insist upon what we should do, in regard to the essential in our progress. I flatter myself that, dealing little in the commonplaces of these themes, I have ample authority in my own experience - which has been that of self-training throughout - for all that I declare and urge, however new or startling it may seem to those whose standards are in stereotypes which no revolutions of the world may disturb or decompose.

Download or read book The Ferment of Realism written by Warner Berthoff and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1981-07-31 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the central developments in American literature between and 1919. It opens with an account of the consolidation of realism as the dominant standard of critical value and brings the reader forward to the moment, at the end of World War I, when American writers began to take a recognized place among the masters of literary modernism. The ascendancy of the novel as the principal genre of the realists is presented against a broader cultural and historical background. Professor Berthoff reviews and evaluates American fiction from the time when Howells, Twain, and Henry James were still under attack by old-school idealizers, to the emergence of a new critical and testamentary realism with Crane, Dreiser, and Gertrude Stein. He shows how the writers under discussion reacted to the work of their predecessors and contemporaries, to foreign literary currents, innovations in journalism, contemporary events, and to changing mores. Using specific examples and direct quotations, Professor Berthoff appraises the strengths and limitations of each. All his discussions, even of secondary writers, are rounded out with a wide range of critical opinion. This approach gives depth and objectivity to the examination of a turbulent and vigorously creative age in American letters. During this period the writings of Henry Adams, Henry George, William James, Thorstein Veblen, and others, though primarily concerned with disciplined reflective inquiry, were part of the essential imaginative effort of realism. The master works of this highly literate group of speculative thinkers had a profound effect on the literature of the era and on the era directly following. Important figures discussed in the final chapters of this history include Willa Cather, Edith Wharton, Frank Norris, Vachel Lindsay and Jack London. Professor Berthoff notes that there is no manifesto or turning point in literature exactly comparable to the turning point in American art created by the Armory Show of 1913. But the emergence in a single generation of Robinson, Frost, Stevens, Pound, Anderson, Stein, O'Neill, and Eliot was to have immense influence, not only in America but throughout the Western world. The thirty-five years that this book spans are among the most important and interesting in the history of American letters. The main currents traced are still vital, and the principal writers of this period are as important now as they were then.
