From their works, we gain not so much a literary renaissance as we do a sense of artistic innovation that developed alongside these other areas of american life and commerce. as literary historians like William Charvat have noted, the development of an american literary tradition owes as much to the development of the am erican publishing industry in the middle decades of the nineteenth century as i t does to the prominence of individual authors like Catharine Maria sedgwick, Wash ington irving, nathaniel hawthorne, edgar allan Poe, herman Melville, ralph Waldo emerson, henry david thoreau, and harriet Beecher stowe. sales of these authors" works were dwarfed by the sales of pirated editions of novels by British authors like Walter scott and Charles dickens. nonetheless, the success of these British imports demand new works; this demand created an opportunity for american writers to american authors still faced steep odds in seeing their works into print, and First
