While the United States celebrates the 250th anniversary of its founding, this timely book considers a darker legacy of the Declaration of Independence. Focusing on the work of three antebellum Philadelphia gothic writers, the author identifies a literary mode she calls “civic horror†and examines its relevance to U.S. politics today.
