Uncommon Women : Gender And Representation In Nineteenth- Century U.S. Women’s Writing
Moving Encounters : Sympathy And The Indian Question In Antebellum Literature
Attribution
Laura L. MielkePublication Details
BookUniversity of Massachusetts Press2008Description
Mielke details not only how such writers as James Fenimore Cooper and Henry Rowe Schoolcraft forecast the inevitable demise of Indian-white sympathy, but also how authors like Lydia Maria Child and William Apess insisted that a language of feeling could be used to create shared community or defend American Indian sovereignty. In this way, Moving Encounters sheds new light on a wide range of texts concerning the Indian Question by emphasizing their engagement with popular sentimental forms and by challenging the commonly held belief that all Euro-American expressions of sympathy for American Indians in this period were fundamentally insincere.

Attribution
J. Adam JohnsPublication Details
BookUniversity of Alabama Press2008Description
He explores several works by historians of technology, focusing in detail on the works of literary critic Lewis Mumford, whose examinations of Herman Melville’s novels provide an early example of critical interest in the abandonment of progress as a value.He goes on to study the works of William Faulkner and Ralph Ellison, focusing on the convergence of technology and race - machines and slavery - and highlights the ways that these writers have portrayed humans as reduced to machines, evidence that technological “progress’ is not always progressive, or liberating to humanity.The conclusion argues for a shift in our understanding of the relationship between technology and time.

American Naturalism And The Jews : Garland, Norris, Dreiser, Wharton, And Cather
Attribution
Donald PizerPublication Details
BookUniversity of Illinois Press2008Description
American Naturalism and the Jews examines the unabashed anti-Semitism of five notable American naturalist novelists otherwise known for their progressive social values.

The Importance Of Feeling English : American Literature And The British Diaspora, 1750-1850
Attribution
Leonard TennenhousePublication Details
BookPrinceton University Press2007Description
The enduring nature of these literary exchanges dramatically recasts early American literature as a literature of diaspora, Tennenhouse argues–and what made the settlers’ writings distinctly and indelibly American was precisely their insistence on reproducing Englishness, on making English identity portable and adaptable.

edited by Roger LundinPublication Details
BookWilliam B. Eerdmans Pub2007Links
Description
Afterword by Andrew Delbanco Despite the crucial importance of religion in American life, the place of religion in literary studies continues to take a backseat to trendier academic causes. There Before Us helps remedy this deficiency by exploring the place of faith in the lives of writers beginning with Ralph Waldo Emerson, who called in 1837 for the creation of a national culture free from “the learning of other lands” and from traditional religion.
