520 Dreaming Revolution usefully employs current critical
theory to address how the European novel of class revolt
was transformed into the American novel of imperial
expansion. Bradfield shows that early American romantic
fiction - including works by William Godwin, Charles
Brockden Brown, James Fenimore Cooper, and Edgar Allan Poe
- can and should be considered as part of a genre too
often limited to the Nineteenth-century European novel.
Beginning with Godwin's Caleb Williams, Bradfield
describes the ways in which revolution legitimates itself
as a means of establishing Political consensus. For
European revolutionaries like Godwin or Rousseau, the
tyranny of the king must be replaced by the more
indisputable authority of human reason. In other words,
democratic revolution makes people free to investigate the
same truths and arrive at the same democratic conclusions.
In the American novel, however, the Enlightenment's
idealized pursuit of abstract truth becomes restructured
as a pursuit of abstract space. Instead of revealing
knowledge, Americans explore further territories, manifest
destiny, limitless regions of the yet-to-be-colonized and
the still-to-be-known. In a spirited discussion of works
by Brown, Cooper and Poe, Bradfield argues that Americans
take the class dynamics of the European psychological
novel and apply them to the American landscape,
reimagining psychological spaces as geographical ones.
Class distinctions become refigured in terms of the common
people's pursuit of a meaning vaster than themselves - a
meaning which leads them to imagine the always expanding
body of colonial America. However, since class conflict is
never successfully eliminated or forgotten, the memory of
class struggle always reemerges in the narrative like a
half-repressed dream of politics. In Dreaming Revolution,
Bradfield reveals and interprets these dreams, opening
these American novels to a richer and more rewarding
reading.
