This course is organized around the notion that American literature may best be understood as a conversation rather than a singular tradition.
That is, American literature is defined here as a discursive practice based on an actual plurality rather than an imagined unity.
The books that structure this course represent different "takes" on what we might consider the spacial, historic, and political commonalities of the American experience and the normative tropes of the American literary imagination.

So reading with a key becomes a kind of puzzle-solving; and the heart of the mystery turns out in the end to be "le secret du roi"—the private life of the king, which is the ultimate mainspring of power.
Sophisticated literature of this sort might seem to be far removed from the raw gossip that coursed through the cafés, but by 1750 these "public noises" conveyed the same themes: the ignominy of the king, the degradation of him by his mistresses, and the manipulation of the mistresses by vile courtiers.
A huge corpus of scandalous literature reached readers everywhere in France, although it has been almost completely forgotten today—no doubt because it did not qualify as literature in the eyes of literary critics and librarians.

The corpus of libelle literature from the 1770s and 1780s grew out of an old tradition, which goes back beyond the Huguenot propaganda against Louis XIV, beyond the seditious libeling of Jules Mazarin (mazarinades), and beyond the pamphleteering of the religious wars to the art of insult and rumor-mongering developed in the Renaissance courts.

One can cite, in particular, works by Martyn Lyons and James Smith Allen on the French best sellers of the nineteenth century.
Certainly, historical research into best sellers must be nuanced with reference to complementary studies drawing on other sources, but, in and of themselves, they greatly complicate all monolithic views of literature and its reception.
Yet, the participants of the Darnton Debate also regard it as a methodological error to try to use best sellers from the years 1769-1789, to explain the links between the Enlightenment and the Revolution, as well as the ideological origins of the Revolution.
