American Jeremiad

"When Sacvan Bercovitch's The American Jeremiad first appeared in 1978, it was hailed as a landmark study of dissent and cultural formation in America, from the Puritans' writings through the major literary works of the antebellum era. For this long-awaited anniversary edition, Bercovitch has written a deeply thoughtful and challenging new preface that reflects on his classic study of the role of the political sermon, or jeremiad, in America from a contemporary perspective, while assessing developments in the field of American studies and the culture at large."--Project Muse.

  • ""The American Jeremiad is truly a seminal book ... the most illuminating study of the root paradigm of American culture yet written."--Victor Turner, Dept. of Anthropology, University of Virginia "One of the most exciting interpretations of American culture in recent decades."--Gustaaf Van Cromphout, in American Literature "Simply the most profound and persuasive work since the great books of the late Perry Miller."--William A. Clehsch, in Church History ". . . an original and moving study that is of significance not only to the literary historian but to anyone concerned with the future of American culture. . . The American Jeremiad is a splendid book."--Jesper Rosenmeier, in Early American Literature "This is a dazzling performance. It supplies conceptual links between phenomena where historians have often sensed a connection without being able to describe it adequately. . . [Bercovitch] has written intellectual history at the highest level."--Edmund S. Morgan, in the New York Review of Books."@en
