Old Style

- Unoriginality and Its Uses in Nineteenth-Century U.S. Literature

About Old Style

We celebrate innovation and experimentation, but Claudia Stokes reminds us that nineteenth-century American writers instead valued familiarity and traditionalism, which provided reliable markers of literary quality. Old Style examines the varied uses and expressions of unoriginality, which helped credential marginalized writers.
