Against Sex: Identities of Sexual Restraint in Early America
Asexual, bicurious, fluid, polyamorous, and queer are just a few of the many sexual identities in existence today. While such variety was not available in nineteenth-century America, Kara French’s new book, Against Sex, examines three subsections of society that advocated unconventional sexual identities in the antebellum era: Shakers, Catholic priests and nuns, and followers of the health reformer Sylvester Graham. All contested the status quo s…
‘The pleasures of traveling in Liberty Plains’: Practical Piety and Childhood Education Through Material Culture in the American Quaker Community
Quaker spirituality encompassed a range of activities, from prayer, meditation and worship to reading, writing and conversation. It also included interaction with what scholars call ‘material religion’. Analysis of an allegorical map entitled ‘A Map of the Various Paths of Life’, created by American minister George Dillwyn in 1794, provides a window into the relationship between Friends’ religious practice and material culture. It enables us to e…

Maurizio Valsania. Jefferson’s Body: A Corporeal Biography
The phenomenon of Founders Chic continues with a new twist: an exploration of Thomas Jefferson’s body, his selfhood, and his relationship to other bodies. Maurizio Valsania wishes to expand our knowledge of this Founding Father by offering “a coherent historical narrative about Thomas Jefferson’s outer self” (1). By analyzing Jefferson’s corporeality, Valsania believes we can gain “new insights into his personality” and “access to eighteenth-cent…
Histories of Friendship in Early America: An Introduction
Exploring friendship as a historical concept in early America poses a challenge. As both a public and private enterprise, friendship is not easily separated from the myriad relations in which it is often embedded: family, kin, and community, as well as connections based on social ties, political interactions, diplomatic alliances, military companies, economic exchanges, and religious practices. Furthermore, the words friend and friendship had mul…
This Union of the Soul”: Spiritual Friendship among Early American Protestants
Early American concepts of spiritual friendship became increasing important in the wake of religious revivalism and denominational growth during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. White, middle class Protestants forged intimate relationships based on common religious beliefs, which developed into spiritual friendship. They exhibited friendliness by nurturing it in themselves and others and by spreading the love of Christ. Yet spiritual frie…

Women, Gender, and Religion in the Early Americas

The influence of women’s history and feminist studies has generated great interest on the topic of gender and religion. Scholars have analyzed women’s religious history using indices of race, class, and gender to produce nuanced histories. This work has shown the complex contours of female spirituality in the early Americas.…

Parrish shows how scientific knowledge about America, rather than flowing strictly from metropole to colony, emerged from a ho…

A Centre of Wonders: The Body in Early America
Images of bodies and bodily practices abound in early America: from spirit possession, Fasting Days, and infanticide to running the gauntlet, going "naked as a sign," flogging, bundling, and scalping. All have implications for the study of gender, sexuality, masculinity, illness, the "body politic," spirituality, race, and slavery. The first book devoted solely to the history and theory of the body in early American cultural studies brings togeth…
Acting the Manly Christian: White Evangelical Masculinity in Revolutionary Virginia
A FTER converting to the Baptist faith in the 176os, James Ireland-a schoolmaster who once had aspired to a refined lifestyle among the Virginia gentry-radically altered his personal behavior and became a new man. He quit his job, ignored his friends and family, eschewed social engagements, and spent long hours alone praying in the woods. His withdrawal from local society attracted notice; Ireland's patron (an unnamed local gentleman) swore he br…
