    Blackface Minstrelsy and the American Working Class

    par Eric Lott ...
    Collections series Race and American Culture
    For over two centuries, America has celebrated the same African-American culture it attempts to control and repress, and nowhere is this phenomenon more apparent than in the strange practice of blackface performance. Born of extreme racial and class conflicts, the blackface minstrel show appropriated black dialect, music, and dance; at once applauded and lampooned black culture; and, ironically, ...

  • Beyond Uncle Tom's Cabin

    Essays on the Writing of Harriet Beecher Stowe

    Ever since feminist scholarship began to reintroduce Harriet Beecher Stowe's writings to the American Literary canon in the 1970s, critical interest in her work has steadily increased.

  • Boys Don't Cry?

    Rethinking Narratives of Masculinity and Emotion in the U.S.

    Modifié par Milette Shamir, Jennifer Travis ...
    We take for granted the idea that white, middle-class, straight masculinity connotes total control of emotions, emotional inexpressivity, and emotional isolation. That men repress their feelings as they seek their fortunes in the competitive worlds of business and politics seems to be a given. This collection of essays by prominent literary and cultural critics rethinks such commonly held views by ... En savoir plus

  • Writing Deafness

    The Hearing Line in Nineteenth-Century American Literature

    Taking an original approach to American literature, Christopher Krentz examines nineteenth-century writing from a new angle: that of deafness, which he shows to have surprising importance in identity formation.

    Sex, class and race in literature and culture

    Modifié par Deborah Rosenfelt, Judith Newton ...
    Collections series Routledge Library Editions: Feminist Theory
    This lively and controversial collection of essays sets out to theorize and practice a ‘materialist-feminist’ criticism of literature and culture.

  • Impossible Witnesses

    Truth, Abolitionism, and Slave Testimony

    par Dwight McBride ...
    Even the most cursory review of black literary production during the nineteenth century indicates that its primary concerns were the issues of slavery, racial subjugation, abolitionist politics and liberation. How did the writers of these narratives "bear witness" to the experiences they describe? At a time when a hegemonic discourse on these subjects already existed, what did it mean to "tell the ...

  • Novels in the Time of Democratic Writing

    The American Example

    Collections series Haney Foundation Series
    During the thirty years following ratification of the U.S. Constitution, the first American novelists carried on an argument with their British counterparts that pitted direct democracy against representative liberalism.
