Riassunto

Unlike studies of 19th-century culture that perpetuate a dichotomy of a public, male world set against a private, female world, this book shows the sometimes contradictory cultural planes on which struggles for authority unfolded in antebellum America. It also revises the terms of debate on 19th-century literature, history, and gender studies.
