 | The Fabrication of American Literature: Fraudulence and Antebellum Print Culture Drawing on a rich archive of magazine fiction, verse satires, comic almanacs, false slave narratives, minstrel song-sheets, and early literary criticism, this book uncovers the controversies over literary fraudulence that plagued the antebellum period and shows how they at once made and unmade American literature. Lara Langer Cohen teaches English at Wayne State University. |
