Analyses the pervasive use of early American themes in contemporary culture, including literature, television series, film, theatre, graphic novels and video games.
Recurring culture war controversies in the USranging from reproductive freedom and gender identity to racial inequality and immigrationoften turn public attention to early American precedents. At the same time, early American figures and tropes enjoy a stunning cachet in popular culture. Early America and the Modern Imagination squarely interprets the significance and cultural uses of these transhistorical re-imaginings of the early American past. While drawing productively on public memory scholarship, this volume augments its neglect of early American studies. The collections critical and pedagogical essays investigate how a variety of modalitiesincluding literature, film, television, theatre, video games and graphic novelsrescript early America as a usable past for contemporary audiences. Early America and the Modern Imagination, therefore, interprets early American themes and their present-day echoes to grapple with the evolving and highly contested import of the American nations past in the present cultural moment.
