The 30th volume of Resources for American Literary Study but only its third clothbound annual publication, this text continues the journal's longstanding objective to provide archival
scholarship and bibliographical analysis in American literature. The articles address such diverse topics as a proposal to locate Edward Taylor's lost manuscripts; the language of flowers in
Uncle Tom's Cabin; and the early stories of Louisa May Alcott. The volume includes essays about Emerson and Hawthorne in the present day by Phyllis Cole and Nina Baym, respectively, and 16
reviews of recently published books on American literature. Annotation 穢2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
