Part of a new wave of scholarship in early American studies that contextualizes American writing in Indigenous space, \u003ci\u003eLiterary Indians\u003c\/i\u003e highlights the significance of Indigenous aesthetic practice to American literary production. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCountering the prevailing notion of the \"\"literary Indian\"\" as a construct of the white American literary imagination, Angela Calcaterra reveals how Native people's pre-existing and evolving aesthetic practices influenced Anglo-American writing in precise ways. Indigenous aesthetics helped to establish borders and foster alliances that pushed against Anglo-American settlement practices and contributed to the discursive, divided, unfinished aspects of American letters. Focused on tribal histories and Indigenous artistry, Calcaterra locates surprising connections and important distinctions between Native and Anglo-American literary aesthetics, in a new history of early American encounter, identity, literature, and culture.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"The University of North Carolina Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52588938592536,"sku":"9781469646930","price":63.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/literary-indians-aesthetics-and-encounter-in-american-literature-to-1920-hardback-9781469646930","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
