Dwelling in Days Foregone: Nostalgia in American Literature and Culture
★★★★★
★★★★★
English
This volume brings together papers that examine American literary texts and cultural phenomena as manifestations and/or expressions of nostalgia. Inspired by Svetlana Boyms seminal study The Future of Nostalgia (2001), the authors of the sixteen chapters demonstrate that this sentiment proves to be a useful key in the process, opening up new interpretive vistas and enabling new critical insights. The experience that comes under scrutiny in these texts is informed by the fundamental division into a certain present, which is the domain of insatiability, and a certain past the locus of at-homeness, often irretrievably lost.
