Books by R. C. De Prospo

Poe's Difference argues that Poe has much more in common with early American, medieval, and ancient writers than with the modern and post-modern ones with whom the writer is so often associated.

The Latest Early American Literature both negatively critiques how the latest scholarly receptions of early American literature differ insignificantly from the earliest ones and positively proposes how a transnationalist concession-that America's neocolonial culture lags behind that of Europe-might advance postmodern theorizing.
