American Terror: The Feeling Of Thinking In Edwards, Poe, And Melville

Contrary to accounts that interpret terror in opposition to reason, this book shows how three authors famous for their works and theories of terror--Jonathan Edwards, Edgar Allan Poe, and Herman Melville--developed a terror that incorporates, theorizes, and extends the Enlightenment claims of reason as feeling.
