Couverture du Weronika Laszkiewicz & Zbigniew Maszewski: Dwelling in Days Foregone (PDF)

This volume brings together papers that examine American literary texts and cultural phenomena as manifestations and/or expressions of nostalgia. Inspired by Svetlana Boym’s seminal study The Future of Nostalgia (2001), the authors of the sixteen chapters demonstrate that this sentiment proves to be a useful key in the process, opening up new interpretive vistas and enabling new critical insights. The experience that comes under scrutiny in these texts is informed by the fundamental division into a certain "present, " which is the domain of insatiability, and a certain "past" – the locus of at-homeness, often irretrievably lost.
