Cassandra L. Yacovazzi. Escaped Nuns
Beginning with Rebecca Reed’s Six Months in a Convent (1835) and Maria Monk’s Awful Disclosures of the Hotel Dieu Nunnery (1836), antebellum America’s literary marketplace was intermittently flooded with publications assailing the alleged evils of Roman Catholic convents. Women claiming to be escaped nuns produced first-person narratives of their experiences, Protestant clergymen and journalists compiled polemical anti-convent tracts, and popular…
Winnie Woodfern Comes Out in Print
S o m e t i m e a f t e r J u l y 1851 , Mary Field Williams Gibson, a teenage orphan from Vermont, moved to Boston to seek her fortune. By the following summer, the seventeen-year-old had begun publishing poems, sketches, and short stories in several of the city’s “story papers,” weekly periodicals that imitated the format of conventional newspapers but were mostly filled with popular fiction. During the early 1850s, more than half a dozen such …

Until now Rebecca Reed has figured as one of the more disreputable villains in the annals of American religious intolerance. The daughter of a poor Protestant farmer from Charlestown, Massachusetts, Reed converted to Roman Catholicism in June 1831, at the age of nineteen, and entered an Ursuline convent in her hometown as either a postulant or a student in August or September of that year. But she became unhappy after only a few months, left the …

Reading Popular Culture in Early America
Since the heyday of an insurgent social history, now over two decades ago, intellectual historians have scrambled to keep the history of ideas relevant to the history of social change. Attesting to their success are the new cultural historians who explore the relationship between mass behavior and popular thought, especially where the two most obviously intersected, in reading, writing, and publishing. Studies by Richard D. Brown, David D. Hall, …

Equality and Partiality
Justice in the polity, Plato argued, mirrors justice in the individual: in both cases, justice consists of a suitable division of labor among different motivating forces. 1 In Equality and Partiality, Thomas Nagel2 ,recasts this argument in Kantian form.Nagel argues that political legitimacy -a state's rightful claim to exercise coercive power over its members -can arise only from proper integration, through institutional means, of the personal a…

Pillars of Salt, Monuments of Grace
In this innovative study, Daniel A. Cohen explores a major cultural shift embodied in hundreds of early New England crime publications. Tracing the declining authority of Puritan ministers, he shows how the arbiters of an increasingly pluralistic literary marketplace gradually supplanted pious execution sermons with last-speech broadsides, gallows verses, criminal autobiographies, trial reports, newspaper stories, and romantic docudramas.

Rites of Execution
In Defense of the Gallows
LIKE FAST-DAYS, ORDINATIONS, AND FUNERALS, PUBLIC HANGINGS WERE extraordinary communal events addressed by early New England ministers.1 Sermons dealing with capital cases were typically delivered on the Sunday preceding an execution and on the day of the hanging itself. They were generally directed both to the condemned prisoner and to a wider audience.2 Since few civic occasions seem to have aroused as much popular interest in New England as pu…

Widely differing assessments of Arthur Mervyn's character are presented in the novel itself. Although Dr. Stevens, the s…
