Book Synopsis
Taking its cue from Perry Miller's 1956 classic of American literary criticism, The Raven and the Whale, Caroline Chamberlin Hellman examines ways in which contemporary multi-ethnic American writers of the United States have responded to nineteenth- and early twentieth-century texts historically central to the American literary canon.

Trade Review

"In Children of the Raven and the Whale, Caroline Chamberlin Hellman makes an effective case for conceiving recent achievements in U.S. fiction and memoir as part of a ‘Third American Renaissance’ inspired by the legacies of the mid-nineteenth century and the modernist period. Drawing judiciously on theories of intertextuality and literary influence, Hellman offers a set of useful case studies in the dynamics of U.S. literary history, while illuminating the connections of recent writing to an American past and a global present."
