    Theorizing American Literature: Hegel, the Sign, and History.Bainard Cowan & Joseph G. Kronick - 1991 - Baton Rouge : Louisiana State University Press.
    This collection of essays intends to challenge conventional notions of what constitutes an American national literature. The new reading of Hegel in recent philosophy and critical theory subjects history and language to a thorough critique. Yet the connection of Hegel to American discourse has largely gone unexplored, and literary theorists have scarcely begun to interrogate the priorities of Hegelianism implicit in American literary history. The essays collected in Theorizing American Literature thus organize their arguments around the necessity to rethink the (...)

    Deconstruction and Criticism. [REVIEW]Bainard Cowan - 1983 - Review of Metaphysics 36 (3):690-692.
    This collection of essays by five scholars whose views were mutually shaped in several years of association at Yale attempts to define deconstruction and its place in criticism from a philosophical standpoint.

    Reflection, Time, and the Novel. [REVIEW]Bainard Cowan - 1983 - Review of Metaphysics 37 (1):134-136.
    This study aims to conjoin recent insights in the poetics of the novel with an existential concern for human life. Medina sees his brief, provocative work as a contribution toward establishing "forms of human intending" as bases of literary expression, in the main through his attempt to correlate a hermeneutics of the symbol with the hermeneutics of existence. To this end he first reappraises the act of reflection, finding its most authentic form not in Western philosophical tradition--which, he claims, has (...)
