Elizabeth Duquette answers this question by demonstrating how loyalty was used during the U.S. Civil War to define proper allegiance to the Union. For Northerners during the war, and individuals throughout the nation after Appomattox, loyalty affected the construction of national identity, moral authority, and racial characteristics. Loyal Subjects considers how the Civil War complicated the cultural value of emotion, especially the ideal of sympathy. Through an analysis of literary works written during and after the conflict-from Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Chiefly About War Matters" through Henry James's The Bostonians and Charles Chestnutt's "The Wife of His Youth," to the Pledge of Allegiance and W.E.B. Du Bois's John Brown, among many others-Duquette reveals that although American literary criticism has tended to dismiss the Civil War's impact, postwar literature was profoundly shaped by loyalty.American literature19th centuryHistory and criticismNational characteristics, American, in literatureLoyalty in literatureAllegiance in literatureNationalism in literatureNationalism and literatureUnited StatesHistory19th centuryUnited StatesHistoryCivil War, 1861-1865Literature and the warElectronic books.American literatureHistory and criticism.National characteristics, American, in literature.Loyalty in literature.Allegiance in literature.Nationalism in literature.Nationalism and literatureHistory810.9/358735Duquette Elizabeth1963-1041534American Literatures Initiative.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461811403321Loyal subjects2465126UNINA04148nam 2200613 450 991079793520332120170919000222.01-63076-136-2(CKB)3710000000570308(EBL)4337975(SSID)ssj0001557200(PQKBManifestationID)16180452(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001557200(PQKBWorkID)13628679(PQKB)10968653(MiAaPQ)EBC4337975(EXLCZ)99371000000057030820160126h20162016 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrLife lessons from veterans /Rick TocquignyLanham, Maryland ;London, [England] :Taylor Trade Publishing,2016.©20161 online resource (149 p.)Description based upon print version of record.1-63076-135-4 Contents; Acknowledgments; Introduction; Writing History.
