Growing Up in Public; Coda: Toward a History of Identification; Notes; Notes; Notes; IndexIn this book, Glenn Hendler explores what he calls the ""logic of sympathy"" in novels by Walt Whitman, Louisa May Alcott, T. S. Arthur, Martin Delany, Horatio Alger, Fanny Fern, Nathaniel Parker Willis, Henry James, Mark Twain, and William Dean Howells. For these nineteenth-century writers, he argues, sympathetic identification was not strictly an individual, feminizing, and private feeling but the quintessentially public sentiment--a transformative emotion with the power to shape social institutions and political movements.Uniting current scholarship on gender in nineteenth-century AAmerican literature19th centuryHistory and criticismEmotions in literatureDidactic fiction, AmericanHistory and criticismSentimentalism in literatureSympathy in literatureSex role in literatureElectronic books.American literatureHistory and criticism.Emotions in literature.Didactic fiction, AmericanHistory and criticism.Sentimentalism in literature.Sympathy in literature.Sex role in literature.813/.309353Hendler Glenn1962-947453MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454529903321Public sentiments2140775UNINA
