The Constraints of History: Revision and Revolution in American Literary Studies.
Carafiol, Peter
College English, v50 n6 p605-22 Oct 1988
Asserts that rigorous historicism might change the following: (1) American literary study, by dropping the traditional nationalist project; (2) the notion of canon, by abandoning it; (3) and the institutional structure that supports academic literary criticism, by interrogating current critical conversation and, by recuperating its history, projecting it into the future.
