  • Apocalyptic Rumblings

    Alan AckermanARTICLEAmerican Literature2022Referências: 9

    Catharine E. Beecher’s 1841 A Treatise on Domestic Economy laid the groundwork for the American environmental canon, including Walden (1854) by Henry David Thoreau and Silent Spring (1962) by Rachel Carson. In conversation with other nineteenth-century American writers, Beecher promoted a way of thinking about nature as home and illuminated current usage of energy and economy as opposing, gendered metaphors. Situating daily life in a new energy r…

  • Edith Wharton's Resource Aesthetics and the Dawn of the American Energy Crisis

    Open AccessAlan AckermanARTICLEJournal of American Studies2018Referências: 2

    Situating Edith Wharton in the context of America's accelerating petro-culture, this essay argues that her novels critique a society that takes for granted high-volume, nonrenewable energy, and specifically revolutionary new kinds of energy: petroleum, natural gas, and the fossil-fueled power stations necessary for the large-scale, continuous production of electricity. Attention to the idiom of energy in The House of Mirth and its mirror text, Th…

  • Just Words

    Alan L Ackerman, Alan AckermanBOOKJust words2011

    In an appearance on The Dick Cavett Show in 1980, the critic Mary McCarthy glibly remarked that every word author Lillian Hellman wrote was a lie, including 'and' and 'the.' Hellman immediately filed a libel suit, charging that McCarthy's comment was not a legitimate conversation on public issues but an attack on her reputation. This intriguing book offers a many-faceted examination of Hellman's infamous suit and explores what it tells us about t…

  • Visualizing Hamlet's Ghost

    Alan L Ackerman, Alan AckermanARTICLETheatre Journal2001Citada por: 2Referências: 5

    Plays have always represented a reality that is invisible, whether psychological, biological, metaphysical, or theological. A key problem for the drama since Shakespeare has been to represent or express human interiority on the stage. Understanding what is meant by interiority, however, is also, more generally, a historical problem. The premise of this essay is that a widespread re-imagining of the subject in the early decades of the nineteenth c…
