overly compacted and, like the definition of “enchantment,” occasionally perplexingly abstract. But these are faults arising from the book’s undeniable strengths. Sophisticated, surprising, and eyeopening at every turn, American Enchantment is a remarkable contribution to early American studies. As the field turns to a new critical era, marked by intelligent sensitivity to affect, materiality, and the phenomenology of wonder, American Enchantment offers a model and a high bar for future scholarship.
