Mary Louise Kete

Sentimental Collaborations

Mourning and Middle-Class Identity in Nineteenth-Century America

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"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
