Book Synopsis Novels in the Time of Democratic Writing by : Nancy Armstrong
Book excerpt: In the decades after U.S. independence, American novelists carried on an argument that pitted direct democracy against the representative liberalism they attributed to their British counterparts. The result was an American novel distinguished by its use of narrative tropes that generated a social system resembling today's distributed network.
