Elizabeth Stoddard’s Depravity
Queer Natures, Queer Mythologies
Of Billy’s Time
Billy Budd is replete with invocations of various temporalities. This article brings the tale’s “juggling temporalities” to bear upon the questions of sexuality that the story also addresses and shows that Billy Budd is a searching exploration of (and meditation on) the profound historicity of sexuality. Unfinished and unpublished at the time of Melville’s death, the extant manuscript of Billy Budd is a complicated palimpsest of additions and rev…
Southworth and Seriality
E.D.E.N. Southworth's originally massively popular novel, The Hidden Hand (1859), was not published as a book until it had undergone serialization three separate times, over the course of a quarter century, in a weekly story-paper called the New York Ledger. This bare fact about the material form in which it circulated and gained its large and admiring audience has consequences for interpreting the novel that have gone entirely unexamined by scho…
The Complete Civil War Journal and Selected Letters of Thomas Wentworth Higginson
The Inhuman Race
While modern critics have tended to approach black and white perspectives of race in America by considering the two sides separately, Cassuto's timely book brings the two together, reconstructing a dialogue between objectifiers (American Puritans, slaveowners) and objectifieds (Native Americans, slaves). The focus is on literature - from Puritan captivity accounts, fugitive slave narratives, and proslavery fiction to the work of writers such as M…

Phonetics and Politics
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN WAS FASCINATED BY THE ALPHABET. As the silent, spatial, ordered representation of the noisy, temporal, relatively disordered realm of human speech, the alphabet appeared to him as the perfect image of the rational organization of erratic human energies. It was a model, for him, of what a rationally administered society ought to be: it represented the imposition of normative structure on the world of human experience. This is mos…
