"The legacies of the Civil War and Reconstruction remain a central part of American
life a century and a half later. Drawing together leading scholars in literary studies
and history, this volume offers accessible treatments of major authors and genres
of this period, including Walt Whitman, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, Rebecca Harding
Davis, Frederick Douglass, and Charles Chesnutt, as well as fiction, poetry, drama,
and life-writing. Although focused on literature, this Companion also canvases battlefields,
homefronts, and hospitals, and discusses a range of topics, including constitutional
reform and presidential impeachment; emancipation and Africa; material culture and
monuments; education, civil rights, and reenactment. The Cambridge Companion to the
Literature of the American Civil War and Reconstruction speaks powerfully to literature's
ability to help readers come to terms with a violent, oppressive history while also
imagining a different future"
