Who's Afraid of Virginia's Nat Turner? Mesmerism, Stowe, and the Terror of Things
When mesmerism first came to this hemisphere by way of St. Domingue, a complex association between radical abolition and the new science was born. Harriet Beecher Stowe takes up that association in her second abolitionist novel Dred. In so doing she charts an emergent trauma theory developing among slaves that deliberately focused on perpetrators rather than victims of New World slavery. Such a reading widens our understanding of early trauma the…
Du Bois on Trauma
Until very recently, critics have been reluctant to deploy the critical legacy of psychoanalysis in their reading of African-American texts. 1 Certain political imperatives and concerns have supported this hesitation; all too often the presupposed subject of psychoanalytic criticism has been white, bourgeois, and male. Yet the emergence of "trauma studies" has made it possible to reenlist psychoanalysis in the work of cultural critique. 2 Indeed,…
"My Heart Is a Large Kingdom"
The Work of Trauma
M[argaret Fuller] to C[aroline Sturgis]. could not but laugh at your catalogue of things you must not have--nothing striped, diamonded, or (above all things) square. That is driving me to close quarters, I think. Dualism. I see but one key to mysteries of human condition, but one solution to old knot of Fate, Freedom, & fore-knowledge;--the propounding, namely, of consciousness. --A page from Emerson's journal JACQUES DERRIDA VISITED VILLANOVA UN…

The Storied Facts of Margaret Fuller
AFTER I finished writing a book on Margaret Fuller and Ralph Waldo Emerson, the Haverford provost asked me to share my research interests with students, faculty, and other members of the college community.' Given the recent spate of publications about Fuller, including Bell Chevigny's revised and important anthology, Robert Hudspeth's completed edition of her letters, and the awardwinning biography by Charles Capper, I found myself inclined to re…

Feminist Conversations
Womanizing Margaret Fuller
f Alice Jardine was not the first, she was among the most persuasive of the early critics to argue for a dialogue between the various forms of feminist criticism developing throughout Europe and North America. With the work of Gayatri Spivak and others, this call for an enlarged view of feminist strategies has been broadened to include the challenging discourses of the third world.2 Nevertheless, so many tensions and disciplinary tendencies have …
Emerson's "Scene" before the Women
less arbitrary than it might at first appear. Emerson writes in response to the failing social reform of his day, and the dislocations of Experience emerge from his desire to explore the theoretical implications of that failure. In this, his confusion resembles that of critics attempting to pass empirical through the theoretical turns of deconstruction. Like Emerson, these feminists find themselves precariously situated. While deconstructionists,…
