Oxford Handbook of Emily Dickinson
Joining reinterpretation to reparations
In 1752, on land cultivated by Nonotuck and other Indigenous people for millennia, Moses and Elizabeth Porter established a farmstead along the Connecticut River in Western Massachusetts. This property remained in the family for 200 years, becoming a museum in 1949. A traditional historic house museum for decades, more recently the Porter-Phelps-Huntington Museum has shifted focus to the site’s enslaved, indigenous, and hired laborers. More inclu…
Child Slavery before and after Emancipation: An Argument for Child-Centered Slavery Studies
If we are to fully understand how slavery survived legal abolition, we must grapple with the work that abolition has left undone, and dismantle the structures that abolition has left in place. Child Slavery before and after Emancipation seeks to enable a vital conversation between historical and modern slavery studies - two fields that have traditionally run along parallel tracks rather than in relation to one another. In this collection, Anna Ma…

Copying and Conversion: "An 1824 Friendship Album "from a Chinese Youth
This essay focuses on a remarkable friendship album found among the papers of the Foreign Mission School in Cornwall, Connecticut. Made in 1824 by a Chinese student, "Henry Martyn Alan" or "Wu Lan," this album is quite possibly the earliest book produced by a Chinese person in the United States. In a provocative educational experiment, the Cornwall Foreign Mission School provided a Christian education to an extraordinary range of "tawny and dusky…
Hawthorne and the writing of childhood
If I pride myself on anything, it is because I have a smile that children love; and on the other hand, there are few grown ladies that could entice me from the side of little Annie; for I delight to let my mind go hand in hand with the mind of a sinless child. So, come, Annie; but if I moralize as we go, do not listen to me; only look about you, and be merry!“Little Annie's Ramble,” ix: 122.

When, in 1872, Theodore Tilton proposed to write her life, Sojourner Truth replied that she “was not ready to be writ up yet, for she had lots to accomplish first.” 1 Illiterate, Truth could not leave her own written traces of her life, and the absence of such “authentic” utterance …

Temperance in the Bed of a Child: Incest and Social Order in Nineteenth-Century America
And now she saw that Joe had crept into the bed behind the sick child, and that her arm was drawn tightly around his neck. You won't let them hurt me, will you, dear? said the poor frightened victim of a terrible mania. Nothing will hurt you, father, answered Mary, in a voice that showed her mind to be clear, and fully conscious of her parent's true condition. She had seen him thus before. Ah! What an experience for a child! ... knew I would be s…

Bodily Bonds: The Intersecting Rhetorics of Feminism and Abolition
As Lydia Maria Child tells it in 1836, the story of the woman and the story of the slave are the same story: I have been told of a young physician who went into the far Southern states to settle, and there became in love with a very handsome and modest girl who lived in service. He married her; and about a year after the event a gentleman called at the house and announced himself as Mr. J. of Mobile. He said to Dr. W., “Sir, I have a trifling aff…

Only two of these lines are actually preserved in Leaves of Grass: am the poet of the body, / And I am the poet of the soul, introduces the 21st section of the poem Whitman ultimately called Song of Myself, offering a self-defining summation, that has informed most subsequent readings of Whitman's poetics.2 Slavery is not mentioned in any published version of section 21; it has disappeared leaving the pairing of body and soul as its only trace.
