Haunted by the Civil War: Cultural Testimony in the Nineteenth-Century United States
Original Copy: Ekphrasis, Gender, and the National Imagination in Nineteenth-Century American Literature . By Christa Holm Vogelius
This thought-provoking book presents a compelling account of the theoretical matrices surrounding copying and originality in literary productions of the 19th-century United States. More specifically, it proposes to examine literature that appears in relation to the concept of ekphrasis, that, as it points out, has not typically been attached to forms of feminine writing or writings by people of color. In traditional terms, the ways that literatur…
The role of Black-led community organisations in supporting Black mental health: A Black emancipatory action research project
Black-led organisations play multiple roles in supporting individual and collective mental health, crucial for mediating the effects of racism and mitigating ethnic inequalities. To our knowledge, this is the first study to both illuminate the critical role of community organisations in promoting Black mental health in the UK and to prioritise participant, and community, benefit throughout the research process
Forgetting to Be Nice
Lately I have found myself listening for a voice like that of the late political scientist Michael Rogin, who succinctly skewered the assumptions that made Ronald Reagan seem benevolent. Through his investigation of psychoanalytic tropes in the ghostwritten autobiography Where's the Rest of Me?, Rogin proposed that Reagan drew inspiration as a politician from the time that he played a role in a movie where his character awakens to discover that h…
Writing and Democracy in the Early United States
There could not have been a stranger time to write about how recent books treat democracy and American culture than while listening to the impeachment hearings in the House of Representatives. As though they were combatants in a methodical ping-pong match, the opposed members took their turns at the table of party loyalty and repeated statements about what it meant to be persecuted or “not above the law.” The question of the law seemed so entwine…
The Altar at Home: Sentimental Literature and Nineteenth-Century American ReligionApocalyptic Sentimentalism: Love and Fear in U.S. Antebellum Literature
The Cambridge Companion to Abraham Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln's stature as an American cultural figure grows from his political legacy. In today's milieu, the speeches he delivered as the sixteenth president of the United States have become synonymous with American progress, values and exceptionalism. But what makes Lincoln's language so effective? Highlighting matters of style, affect, nationalism and history in nineteenth-century America, this collection examines the rhetorical power of Li…

Facing America: Iconography And The Civil War
Facing America investigates and explains the changing face of America during the Civil War. Drawing on the literature as well as the photographs and political cartoons of the period, Shirley Samuels also explores the body of the nation imagined both physically and metaphorically, arguing that the Civil War marks a dramatic shift from identifying the American nation as feminine to identifying it as masculine

The Culture of sentiment: Race, gender, and sentimentality in nineteenth-century America
In this important new collection, leading scholars in nineteenth-century American culture re-examine the vexed subject of sentimentality. These essays draw upon a range of interdisciplinary approaches to situate sentimentality in terms of "women's culture" and issues of race, before and after the Civil War. Moving beyond the canonical debates about sentimentality, the collection makes visible the particular racial and gendered forms that define t…
The Family, the State, and the Novel in the Early Republic
some of the central concerns involving the practices of the state and the family, and the institution of the novel in the early republic, a period roughly defined here as between the American Revolution and the Civil War; on the other, I want to show how these concerns have been re-examined but also replicated by recent literary and social historians working on the early republic. I am particularly interested in what has been called the new histo…
