Recenzii

"This useful and welcome book makes a significant contribution to sentimental studies by focusing on the genre of poetry. Kete offers a compelling formulation of sentimental poetics and of sentimental nationalism."--Michelle Burnham, Santa Clara University [DO NOT USE THIS BLURB, PER KETE'S REQUEST: "IT'S LAME." She is sending JNC names of other potential blurbers.] "This book is an original and compelling study of a highly significant but largely neglected tradition of American poetry. More than that, it is a brilliant revaluation of the central role of sentimentality (in fiction as well as poetry) in the construction of nineteenth-century American middle-class culture. The result is a major work in the field of American Studies that has sweeping and important implications the related fields of feminist and gender studies, and for cultural studies generally."--Sacvan Bercovitch, Harvard University

Textul de pe ultima copertă

"Such is the reach of Kete's scholarship that it succeeds in illuminating both the private experience of grief in American families and the public constitution of a national middle-class culture. It does so through a sophisticated reconceptualization of the forms and functions of sentimentalism in poetry and fiction."--Robert Gross, College of William and Mary
