Herman Melville''s Moby-Dick a jazz novel? Nathaniel§Hawthorne as playful as Charlie Bird Parker? Mark§Twain and Ralph Ellison trading twelves, across the§gulf of time, on the "American" character? These are§just some of the questions explored in American§Humors. Beginning with Hawthorne and ending with Toni§Morrison, this book offers a jazz-inflected tour§of the literary history of the United States. Along§the way, we see how American writers extend the§achievements of their literary ancestors; we see the§well-springs of the creative process; we see how the§insistence upon improvisation becomes the foundation§for a national art form and way of life. With the§nineteenth-century American Renaissance and the§twentieth-century Harlem Renaissance serving as§bookends, American Humors investigates the varied§hues and frequencies of art and experience in the§United States and the global context.
