Description of Misery's Mathematics
Reveals the strain of a moment in American cultural history that led several writers - including Emerson, Warner, and Melville - to render the rupture of loss in various ways. This book shows how these three writers rejected Calvinist and sentimental models of bereavement, creating instead the compensations of a mature American literature.
