The Harlem Renaissance continues to attract much scholarly attention, including its influence on writers of the black diaspora. Harlem stands as an imaginary with social and aesthetic influence in Paris, Africa, and the Caribbean. Detective fiction has become an important area for scholarship, both in the study of hard-boiled authors such as Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett and with respect to the interest in the genre shown by a variety of writers from Gertrude Stein to Rudolph Fisher and Pauline Hopkins. There are important new collections on Zora Neale Hurston, John Dos Passos, and H. P. Lovecraft this year, and new biographies of Jack London, Carl Van Vechten, Abraham Cahan, and the white women who played an important role in the Harlem Renaissance. The Critical Insights series has produced volumes on themes such as the American dream and American road literature and on genres, including pulp fiction, science fiction, and crime and detective fiction.

In 1955, when Robert E. Spiller’s The Cycle of American Literature argued for the figural and historical typologies that help organize American Literary Scholarship and most other surveys, the period covered by this chapter had not even begun. Now, 58 years later, its parameters equal that of other eras. But does any reliable typification fit this latest epoch in the cavalcade of American letters? Has postmodernism arisen only to quickly fall? Has deconstruction undermined the critic’s ability to totalize? Perhaps these very instabilities are the most apt characterization of literary activity during the past six decades. At the very least, a spirit of debate has characterized the best scholarship of fiction written throughout these years.
1955年，当罗伯特·e·斯皮勒(Robert E. Spiller)的《美国文学循环》(The Cycle of American Literature)主张人物和历史类型学有助于组织美国文学研究和大多数其他调查时，本章所涵盖的时期甚至还没有开始。58年后的今天，它的参数与其他时代相同。但是，有可靠的类型化适用于这个最新时代的美国文学吗?后现代主义的兴起是否只是为了迅速衰落?解构主义是否削弱了批评家的综合能力?也许正是这些不稳定性，最恰当地描述了过去60年的文学活动。至少，辩论精神是这些年来最优秀的小说学术作品的特点。

Robert D. Habich
Substantial work on the Transcendentalist writers appeared in 2013: a new biography of Margaret Fuller; additions to the editions of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau; a collection of essays on Emerson and one on Thoreau; a special issue of 19th-Century Prose on Emerson’s Collected Works; and two full-length studies of Transcendentalism. Among the trends in the scholarship are attention to transnational and cosmopolitan contexts and increasing consideration of the later careers of both Emerson and Thoreau.
