“This is an exciting book, one that many of us in humanities research (and book history) have been hoping to see. This collection persuasively explores the issues of digitized knowledge, access, and preservation in the widest scope, across nations as well as disciplines, libraries as well as academic departments. It offers a richly multinational and cross-cultural perspective on these issues by exploring them across borders and continents. Mizruchi’s collection brings together leading scholars in book and reading history, and digital humanities, with front-line scholars in library and information sciences to provide a unique combination of academic and curatorial expertise. I don’t know of any book that offers such a convincing combination of specialties--let alone a book that will be so readable across many categories of intellectual life. The book is beautifully conceived, interleaving through the essays its topics of print and digital, libraries and visual or other non-text archives, and overlapping professional agendas among academics, librarians, and digital specialists.” — Prof Jon Klancher, Carnegie Mellon University, USA “These authors present the case for the vitality and urgency of new forms and models of public libraries and archives, open access and the transmission of cultural and community assets, embracing the digital as essential rather than threat.” --David Leonard, President, Boston Public Library, USA The role of archives and libraries in our digital age is one of the most pressing concerns of humanists, scholars, and citizens worldwide. This collection brings together specialists from academia, public libraries, governmental agencies, and non-profit archives to pursue common questions about value across the institutional boundaries that typically separate us. Susan L. Mizruchi is the William Arrowsmith Professor in the Humanities, Director of the Humanities Center, and Professor of English at Boston University. Her books include Brando’s Smile (2014), The Rise of Multicultural America (2008), and The Science of Sacrifice (1998). She has received many academic honors, including fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the Huntington Library, the Fulbright Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Humanities. .

In this provocative study, Susan Mizruchi argues that the act of writing history is the key to the political concerns of American novelists. Using nineteenth-century theories of history as well as recent narratological models, she examines reconstructions of the past in The House of the Seven Gables (1851), The Bostonians (1886), The Wings of the Dove (1902), and An American Tragedy (1925). Her special focus allows us to see that the efforts (on the part of characters and narrators alike) to reshape the past reveal both anxieties about the self and larger struggles for political power.Professor Mizruchi demonstrates the deepening connections between narrative and political coercion from Hawthorne to Dreiser, whose novels (as she further shows) both incorporate, and portray their characters incorporating, the conditions of their contemporary worlds. Her argument addresses a major contemporary dialogue on the subversive qualities of American texts and the place of history in literary interpretation.Originally published in 1988.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
