In a sweeping reassessment of early American literature, "The Gender of Freedom" explores the workings of the literary public sphere--from its colonial emergence through the antebellum flourishing of sentimentalism--and places representations of and by women at the center rather than the margin of the public sphere and the politics of liberalism.
"In this highly intelligent and elegantly written book, Elizabeth Maddox Dillon makes the important observation that U.S. liberalism depends upon the concept of gender for its successful functioning and, more particularly, that women's private status has been integral to liberalism since its inception."--Legacy "Through an impressive synthesis of critical material from a wide range of disciplines and some astute readings of political theorists from Adam Smith to Jürgen Habermas, Elizabeth Maddock Dillon has produced an intriguing and largely persuasive account of the relationship between liberalism and gender difference."--William and Mary Quarterly
