- William Charvat began teaching at the Ohio State University in 1944 as distinguished professor of American literature in the Department of English. He is honored there by the Charvat Collection.
For much of his time at Ohio State, he was part of a triumvirate of American literature faculty that included Roy Harvey Pearce and Claude Simpson who were among the most respected literary scholars of their time. This academic trio, for instance, was responsible for establishing the Centenary Hawthorne Edition at Ohio State, an editorial project that became the model, under the auspices of the Center for Editions of American Authors, at other universities throughout the country, e.g., William Dean Howells at Indiana University, Herman Melville at Northwestern University, Mark Twain at the University of California, Berkeley, etc.
William Charvat, in his individual scholarship, was a pioneer in his approach toward the analysis and interpretation of American literary culture. Charvat’s Literary Publishing in America, 1790-1850 and The Profession of Authorship in America, 1800-1870 were groundbreaking works in the study of American book history.
