Abstract	This polemic stages a critique of (often presentist) political readings of early American novels dominant in Early American Studies (and American Studies more generally), proposing a return to aesthetic questions informed by systems theory, Funktionsgeschichte (the history of the changing functions of fiction) and Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten's original definition of aesthetics as "the science of sensuous cognition."
