ENG:
This book charts how the cartographies of American literature as an institutional category have varied radically across different times and places. Arguing that American literature was consolidated as a distinctively nationalist entity only in the wake of the U.S. Civil War, Paul Giles identifies this formation as extending until the beginning of the Reagan presidency in 1981. He contrasts this with the more amorphous boundaries of American culture in the eighteenth century, and with ways in which conditions of globalization at the turn of the twenty-first century have reconfigured the parameters of the subject.
RUS: В книге Пола Джайлза показано, как радикально менялась картография американской литературы в разные эпохи и в разных местах Утверждая, что американская литература сформировалась только после Гражданской войны в США, Джайлз демонстрирует, что это формирование продолжалось вплоть до начала президентства Рейгана в 1981 году.
