History Matters : Contemporary Poetry On The Margins Of American Culture
Postmodern American Literature And Its Other

Attribution
W. Lawrence HoguePublication Details
BookUniversity of Illinois Press2009Description
Although literary postmodernism has been defined in terms of difference, multiplicity, heterogeneity, and plurality, some of the most vaunted authors of postmodern American fiction–such as Thomas Pynchon, Paul Auster, and other white male authors–often fail to adequately represent the distinct subjectivities of African Americans, American Indians, Latinos and Latinas, women, the poor, and the global periphery.

From The Civil War To The Apocalypse : Postmodern History And American Fiction

Attribution
Timothy ParrishPublication Details
BookUniversity of Massachusetts Press2008Links
Description
This is a reconsideration of the relationship between history and fiction in the context of postmodernism. Yet, contrary to the fears of some historians, such arguments have not undermined the practice of history as a meaningful enterprise so much as they have highlighted the appeal history has as a narrative craft. In addressing the postmodernist claim that history works no differently than fiction, Timothy Parrish rejects the implication that history is dead or hopelessly relativistic.

The Multiple Worlds Of Pynchon’s Mason & Dixon : Eighteenth-century Contexts, Postmodern Observations

Attribution
edited by Elizabeth Jane Wall HindsPublication Details
BookCamden House2005Links
Description
When Thomas Pynchon’s novel Mason & Dixon was published in 1997, it marked a deep shift in Pynchon’s career and in American letters in general. The novel was a New York Times bestseller.This volume of new essays studies the interface between 18th- and 20th-century culture both in Pynchon’s novel and in the historical past. It offers fresh thinking about Pynchon’s work not only because it deals with his most recent novel, but also because the contributors take up the linkages between the 18th and 20th centuries in studies that are as concerned with culture as with the literary text itself.

Attribution
Samuel Chase CoalePublication Details

Though scholars have suggested that in modern times the JFK assassination initiated an industry of conspiracy (i.e., Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers, Area 51, Iran-Contra Affair), Samuel Chase Coale reminds us in this book that conspiracy is foundational in American culture–from the apocalyptic Biblical narratives in early Calvinist households to the fear of Mormon, Catholic, Jewish, and immigrant populations in the 19th century.
