William Huntting Howell is Associate Professor of English at Boston University. He is the author of Against Self-Reliance: The Arts of Dependence in the Early United States (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2015) and the co-editor (with Megan E. Walsh) of Frank J. Webb's The Garies and Their Friends (Broadview, 2016). His essays have appeared in American Literature, The William and Mary Quarterly, Early American Studies, Common-place, and Avidly, among others. Greta LaFleur is Associate Professor of American Studies at Yale University. Her research and teaching focus on early North American literary and cultural studies, the history of science, the history of race, the history and historiography of sexuality, and queer & trans studies. Her first book, The Natural History of Sexuality in Early America, was published by The Johns Hopkins University Press in 2018. LaFleur is currently working on a new monograph, tentatively titled A Queer History of Sexual Violence (under contract with The University of Chicago Press). LaFleur's writing appears in Early American Literature, Early American Studies, American Quarterly, American Literature, and on the Los Angeles Review of Books and Public Books websites

'Howell and LaFleur's collection should put to rest debates about whether our field suffers a theory deficit and neglects aesthetics and form. The volume's essays adroitly handle topics as wide-ranging as using queer crip theory and decolonizing Native literary aesthetics; they also sharpen our attention to genre with a scope of themes including paranoid style and revival hymn poetics. The volume's wealth of information, density of primary text references, and bibliographic coverage also equip anyone teaching early American literature courses with fresh pedagogical impulses and a wellspring of spin-off subjects to guide undergraduate and graduate research; as with good teaching, the essays assiduously note the greater amount of work remaining to be done on a variety of topics, texts, authors, and archives.'
