Barry Werth
Publication Details
Book, 1st ed, Random House, 2009
Description
As this justification took root as a social, economic, and ethical doctrine, Spencer won numerous influential American disciples and allies, including industrialist Andrew Carnegie, clergyman Henry Ward Beecher, and political reformer Carl Schurz. In late 1882, most of the main figures who brought about and popularized these developments gathered at Delmonico?s, New York?s most venerable restaurant, in an exclusive farewell dinner to honor Spencer and to toast the social applications of the theory of evolution.

Description
Whether in the public realm as political activists, artists, teachers, biographers, editors, and writers or in the more traditional role of domestic, nurturing women, Elizabeth Peabody, Mary Peabody Mann, and Sophia Peabody Hawthorne subverted rigid nineteenth-century definitions of women?s limited realm of influence. Reinventing the Peabody Sisters seeks to redefine this dynamic trio?s relationship to the literary and political movements of the mid nineteenth century. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)

Description
Blending historical and cultural criticism and drawing on fresh primary material from London and Paris, Transatlantic Stowe includes essays exploring Stowe?s relationship with European writers and the influence of her European travels on her work, especially the controversial travel narrative Sunny Memories of Foreign Lands and her ?Italian novel? Together these essays offer new interpretations of Stowe?s most popular novel as well as new readings of her many other works, illuminate the myriad connections between Stowe and European writers, and thus rewrite literary history by returning Stowe to the larger political, historical, and literary contexts of nineteenth-century Europe.

Belabored Professions : Narratives Of African American Working Womanhood

Attribution
Xiomara Santamarina
Publication Details
Book, University of North Carolina Press, 2005
Links
- TABLE OF CONTENTS
Description
According to nineteenth-century racial uplift ideology, African American women served their race best as reformers and activists, or as “doers of the word.” As Santamarina demonstrates, these texts offer modern readers new perspectives on the emergence of the vital African American autobiographical tradition, dramatizing the degree to which black working women participated in and shaped American rhetorics of labor, race, and femininity.

Whitewashing Uncle Tom’s Cabin : Nineteenth-century Women Novelists Respond To Stowe

Attribution
Joy Jordan-Lake
Publication Details
Book, 1st ed, Vanderbilt University Press, 2005
Links
- TABLE OF CONTENTS
Description
Jordan-Lake begins by considering the male plantation literary tradition and then demonstrates how white women novelists of the anti?Uncle Tom school adopted characteristics from sentimental fiction, emulating Stowe?s own strategies more than those of their male allies. But contrary to their intent, Jordan-Lake shows, their works succumb to evasions, displacements, and contradictions that disrupt their surface narratives and reveal even their most noble women characters as mere pawns in a patriarchal game in which white society?s pursuit and maintenance of wealth are made to appear humane, even holy.

Democratic Discourses : The Radical Abolition Movement And Antebellum American Literature

Attribution
Michael Bennett
Publication Details
Book, Rutgers University Press, 2005
Links
- TABLE OF CONTENTS
Description
Bringing together key texts of both African American and European American authors, Democratic Discourses shows the important ways that abolitionist writing shaped a powerful counterculture within a slave-holding society. These rereadings avoid the tendency to view antebellum writing as a product primarily of either European American or African American influences and, instead, illustrate the interconnections of white and black literature in the creation and practice of democracy.
