Public performances.The eighteenth and nineteenth centuries saw both the consolidation of American print culture and the establishment of an African American literary tradition, yet the two are too rarely considered in tandem. In this landmark volume, a stellar group of established and emerging scholars ranges over periods, locations, and media to explore African Americans' diverse contributions to early American print culture, both on the page and off. The book's chapters consider domestic novels and gallows narratives, Francophone poetry and engravings of Liberia, transatlantic lyrics and San Francisco newspapers. Together, they consider how close attention to the archive can expand the study of African American literature well beyond matters of authorship to include issues of editing, illustration, circulation, and reading-and how this expansion can enrich and transform the study of print culture more generally.Material texts.Literature publishingUnited StatesHistory18th centuryLiterature publishingUnited StatesHistory19th centuryAuthors and publishersUnited StatesHistory18th centuryAuthors and publishersUnited StatesHistory19th centuryAmerican literatureAfrican American authorsHistory and criticismAfrican Studies.African-American Studies.American History.American Studies.Cultural Studies.Literature.Literature publishingHistoryLiterature publishingHistoryAuthors and publishersHistoryAuthors and publishersHistoryAmerican literatureAfrican American authorsHistory and criticism.070.5097309/033Cohen Lara Langer1602765Stein Jordan Alexander1602766MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910826852103321Early African American print culture3926813UNINA
