| "This book challenges the very notion of 'American Literature'--what it is and how we date it--by daring not to assume 'that different national governments mean different national literatures.' It does so from a transatlantic perspective that, in Tennenhouse's hands, achieves a new maturity and power. In reconceiving American literature, "The Importance of Feeling English" also points the way to a new understanding of British literary history."--Clifford Siskin, New York University "This book advances a bold and compelling new paradigm for understanding early American literature. Tennenhouse unsettles the long-standing premise that literature and culture are best understood within the framework of the nation; in so doing, he offers a fundamentally novel and revealing new account of early American literature."--Elizabeth Maddock Dillon, Yale University
