Eating America
In the years just after World War II, the Passover seder pressed into service every seat in my aunt and uncle’s house, down to the nicked and crayon-stained furniture from my cousins’ bedrooms. Included, of course, were the massive, upholstered oak chairs that completed the dining room set, one of the first major purchases that clinched homeownership for this first American generation. The sticky, vinyl-seated chairs from the kitchen dinette were…
What We Talk about When We Talk about Autobiography
It seems as though when we—Americanists, anyway—talk about autobiography, we are never just talking about ... autobiography. Since Benjamin Franklin famously offered up not only his life but, equally

Authority and Alliance in the Letters of Henry Adams
The Idea of the Midwest
Le Midwest a été très tôt le théâtre d'un conflit entre paysage et idéologie. La tension entre l'idée d'une terre-refuge, offrant un recours aux déçus de l'Amérique urbaine, et la réalité d'un monde rural en perdition, affleure dans bien des domaines de l'art. Ainsi, à l'idéalisme réconfortant du « Prairie Style » de Frank Lloyd Wright, des récits de Willa Cather, ou des toiles de Grant Wood, peut-on opposer l'inquiétude, parfois l'exaspération, …

Resistance and Subversion in the Letters of Alice James
Letter writing enabled Alice James to resist her consignment to a personally limiting-and publicly authorized-language and narrative. While James accepted the gendered privatization of speech which this marginally "literary" form imposed, she also managed in her letters to exploit the access to language which privatization extended to her, and thus to contest her marginalization

The quotidian in twentieth-century fiction by Midwestern women
On étudie de quelles façons au cours du XXe siècle les femmes écrivains du Middle Ouest ont tout à la fois modifié et renforcé leur attachement au quotidien tandis que s'en écartaient presque tous les romanciers, qui s'y trouvaient trop à l'étroit. Dans leurs œuvres, elles n'ont cessé de démystifier cet attachement pour se concentrer sur les joies subtiles qui récompensent celles qui sont attentives au quotidien dans un monde en mutation
