This book traces the tradition of American historical fiction from its origins in the early nineteenth century to the eve of World War II. It examines the historical novel's connections with Enlightenment and Romantic theories of history; with the rise of literary regionalism; with the ambitions of Romantic writers to revive the epic and romance; with changing conceptions of gender roles; and with the authors' troubled responses to the great revolutionary and imperialistic conflicts of the modern era. However, though inevitably much concerned with the theory of genre and with the specific contents of the genre of historical romance, Professor Dekker devotes most of his book to new readings of major texts by James Fenimore Cooper, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, Mark Twain, Allen Tate, Edith Wharton, Willa Cather, and William Faulkner, as well as to the Briton whose name was synonymous with the genre for most of the nineteenth century - Sir Walter Scott. 'The American Historical Romance is the richest, most fully meditated and most rewarding yet written by this author ... It is the most important book on the relations of British and American fiction to come out for many years. No devotee of the American novel will ignore it.' -- The Times Literary Supplement

Burdens of grief and a desire for justice stand in the way of Gabe's happiness. And Martha holds a sacred, secret promise deep in her heart that makes her deny her attraction to the handsome neighbor.

In this epic and haunting tale set in Victorian America, a woman must find her way through peril, uncertainty, and loss to find true love. When her beloved father passes away, Esther Silverton, heiress to one of the most powerful fortunes in the nation, believes losing her last family member was the biggest challenge ahead of her. But with her trusted family lawyer vanishing in the Wild West and her father's devious business partner bent on claiming the Silverton fortune for himself, Esther must disappear into the streets of Victorian New York, fearing for her life. Poor, starving, and posing as a man, Esther is desperate to find a way west in search of the only person who can help her claim her fortune. Chance crosses her path with the most attractive English nobleman who has ever stepped foot on American ground, the stunning George Astley, Duke of Aberdeen, who hires her as his American guide into the west. Fresh off the boat, and with his own family at the brink of ruin, George is set to make his way deep into the Wild West to save his investment in a controversial gold mine-at all costs. But the duke is at a loss. Why does he feel so attracted to this pretty-faced, cunning guide of his? Has he lost his mind? Or is there more to this boy whose intelligence, bravery, and selflessness seem to touch the deepest corners of his heart like nobody has ever done before... Oblivious to the fact that the street-smart guide he hired in New York is actually a wanted heiress on her own mission, the two of them set out to not only face the dangers of the lawless American frontier, but also feelings of attraction, sparks, and maybe even love... From the Author: Thank you for considering An Outlawed Heiress & Her Duke. If you love historical western romances, sexy dukes, feel-good romances, sizzling passion, steamy love scenes, and strong heroines, you'll love this adventurous Wild West tale of kindness and true love.

Sometimes survival isn’t just about staying alive… Widowed and alone on the frontier, Elspeth Stewart will do whatever it takes to protect herself and her unborn child from the dangers of the wilderness and of men. Though her youthful beauty doesn’t show it, she is broken and scarred from the way men have treated her. So when a stranger wanders onto Bethie’s land, wounded and needing her aid, she takes no risks, tying him to the bed and hiding his weapons before ministering to his injuries. But Bethie’s defenses cannot keep Nicholas Kenleigh from breaking down her emotional walls. The scars on his body speak of a violent past, but his gentleness, warmth, and piercing eyes arouse longings in her that she never imagined she had. As Nicholas and Bethie reveal to each other both their hidden desires and their tortured secrets, they discover that riding the flames of their passion might be the key to burning away the nightmares of their pasts.

Set in colonial America, rebellion against England simmers as does the attraction between Emily Wentworth and Jonathon Brentwood. Years earlier, George Wentworth had appointed Jonathon as guardian of his children in the event of his death. When George dies at sea, Jonathon, 28, arrives at the Wentworth home in London to take George's "children" with him to the colonies. Emily, 17, has decided that she is fully capable of taking care of herself and her fifteen-year-old brother and plans to show her new guardian just how mature and capable she is. When they meet, both are taken aback by their immediate attraction. Jonathon fights his feelings for Emily with humor; Emily fights hers with aloofness, which only charms him more.Emily's one chance to remain in London is to marry, but when the opportunity arises, she knows she would rather follow Jonathon across an ocean to a land in upheaval than to stay safely in London. A life-threatening accident at sea requires Emily to nurse Jonathon back to health. Try as she might to deny it, her feelings for Jonathon grow amid the close quarters of his ship, the Destiny.After arriving at the family manor in Virginia, Jonathon takes Emily riding across his land to prove its immensity and beauty to her. Caught in a violent storm, Emily is injured, so Jonathon takes her to a nearby cottage. In the solitude of the cottage, the storm raging outside, Jonathon and Emily almost succumb to the passion that has been smoldering since the evening they met in London. Eventually, they give in to their desire and Emily becomes pregnant. Jonathon's involvement in patriot activity against England disturbs Emily because she grew up a loyal subject of King George III. Unable to understand the rebellion she demands to return to London. But as they set sail, she sees Jonathon shot and captured. Heartbroken, she returns to Brentwood Manor to bear his child. Rebellion is the backdrop for misunderstanding, fear, mistrust, and danger. But it is love's destiny that Emily and Jonathon be together, even in the face of death.
