Democratic Humanism and American Literature illustrates the interplay between democratic assumptions and literary performance in the Americas classic nineteenth-century writers - Emerson, Thoreau, Hawthorne, Melville, Cooper, Poe, Whitman, Twain, and James. Kaplan suggests that these major figures works are linked by the myths of genesis of a new political culture. Challenged by the democratic ideal, and committed to it, they wrote prophetic books in the American liberal tradition and endowed its ethical intelligence.
