"My niche is formed around interesting, though sometimes dead-end, movements in American thought, especially nineteenth-century thought, when so many people felt a compulsion to create," he says, scanning the rare treasures that cover his desks, tables, and shelves. "American literature during those years was much more than Hawthorne, Melville, and Mark Twain. There was a huge sprawling community of writers and thinkers. They were political activists, abolitionists, utopians, suffragists. I look for stuff that will help others tell a new story about American culture."Scott's business website is here.
