Lloyd Pratt Bücher

Lloyd Pratt, an esteemed academic, explores the intersection of literature and modernity in the 19th century through his work, "Archives of American Time." As the Drue Heinz Professor of American Literature at the University of Oxford, his insights delve into how literary narratives reflect and shape contemporary experiences. This book offers a scholarly examination of American literature's evolution during a pivotal historical period, making it a significant contribution to the field.

In a bold revision of traditional historical narratives, Pratt analyzes nineteenth-century American literature to disclose the competing temporalities and racial identities that in fact defined the antebellum period.
