520 $a Using romantic theories, Caton analyzes America's contemporary novel. Organized through the two sections of ""heory b4 s and "Practice",& $x 00A0;Reading American Novels and Multicultural Aesthetics begins with astudy of aesthetic form only to have it reveal the content of politicsand history. This presentation immediately offers a unified platform for an interchange between multiple culturaland aesthetic positions. Romantic theory provides for an integrated examination of diversity, one that metaphorically fosters a solid, inclusive, and democratic legitimacy for intercultural communication. This politically astute cosmopolitan appreciation will generate an intriguing "cross-over" audience: from ethnic studies to American studies and from literary studies to romantic studies, this book will interest a range of readers.
