Anna De Biasio reads A New Literary History of America as an offshoot of the culturalist formation, which holds a hegemonic position in US academia. Through a comparison with two recent Histories of American literature and especially with the neo-historicist paradigm, the novelties and limits are highlighted of a historiographic venture that radicalizes principles such as the pluralization of the objects of study and the discontinuity of their treatment, confirming the end of all traditional understanding of the “literary”.

Abstract
Anna De Biasio reads A New Literary History of America as an offshoot of the culturalist formation, which holds a hegemonic position in US academia.
