Know about the book -

Crossings in Nineteenth-Century American Culture is written by Edward Sugden and published by Edinburgh University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1474476317 (ISBN 10) and 9781474476317 (ISBN 13).

Across four parts of exploratory, creative and speculative essays, this book provides provocative frameworks and readings of canonical and non-canonical literature. The essays cover off-the-map places, warped historical chronologies, excessive selves, unlikely meetings and systemic incommensurability. Collectively they define original methods, categories and terrains for the study of the American cultural past. Altogether, this collection interrogates some of the most dominant critical moves of the past two decades and proposes alternative ways of working and thinking with the American nineteenth century.
