Summary
This introduction lays out the primary contributions of the volume as a whole, loosely organizing the essays under the umbrella of three themes: form and genre, networks, and methods for living. The introduction also charts major shifts in the composition of nineteenth-century American literary studies, including changes in major methods, archives, and historical foci.
