From the publisher’s description:
With this history of the American novel, a presentation is presented that stands in the context of the debate about the contribution of the novel to the modernization process. Fluck's work pursues the exciting complementarity of imaginary self-transgression and discursive preparation of the cultural imaginary in detailed individual interpretations of all important stations and genres of the American novel in the 18th and 19th centuries.
