After transforming their dissertations into a first book, many professors turn to a second book project to extend their interest in their field of research and clarify their career aims. The Second Book Project is a symposium bringing together the ongoing research projects of several distinguished scholars of American literature. Our participants, who have all published successful first books about American literary history, will be discussing their books-in-progress, especially their premises and critical purposes. This symposium will be of special interest to faculty in the process of thinking through second books, as well as to graduate students interested in professionalization.
