The Business of America examines the complex linking of business and nationhood in post-war United States literature against the backdrop of changing concepts of the nation in the field of American Studies. The first part of the book examines how white male literary culture has been largely hostile to business during this period and how it has represented transnational shifts in the nature of business as threats to supposedly American values like the individual, the family, or freedom. The book charts the way that such an uneasiness towards business relies upon a discourse about America, business and empire that is increasingly untenable in the post-war world. By way of comparison, The Business of America looks at how literature by women and by writers from different racial, ethnic and sexual groups often deals with business from the more localised angle of work. Graham Thompson shows how this attention to work provides a less abstract and more oppositional approach to the connection between business and America.

What I feel most moved to write, that is banned, - it will not pay. Yet, altogether, write the other way I cannot."" Herman Melville wrote these words as he struggled to survive as a failing novelist. Between 1853 and 1856, he did write ""the other way,"" working exclusively for magazines. He earned more money from his stories than from the combined sales of his most well known novels, Moby-Dick, Pierre, and The Confidence-Man.In Herman Melville Graham Thompson examines the author's magazine work in its original publication context, including stories that became classics, such as ""Bartelby, the Scrivener"" and ""Benito Cereno,"" alongside lesser-known work. Using a concept he calls ""embedded authorship,"" Thompson explores what it meant to be a magazine writer in the 1850s and discovers a new Melville enmeshed with forgotten materials, editors, writers, and literary traditions. He reveals how Melville responded to the practical demands of magazine writing with dazzling displays of innovation that reinvented magazine traditions and helped create the modern short story.
