I read John Gatta's inspirational and informative study with pleasure and excitement. He is onto something of great value here, as he looks for what he calls 'transformative grace in certain key texts. He identifies a significant, if not central, American tradition, the Green Jeremiad, and he tracks it lovingly, rightly seeing a testimony of faith in each of these works: faith in the readers who come to these pages with expectation, with moral attentiveness, alert to the possibilities of change. This is a deeply serious and important book. -- Jay Parini, Middlebury College, and author of Borges and Me
