Focusing on the female body as a site of contestation, the essays describe acts of bravery, subversion, and survival expressed in a variety of genres, including the saga, letter, diary, captivity narrative, travel narrative, verse, sentimental novel, and autobiography. The volume also speaks to a range of female experience, across the Americas and across time, from the Viking exploration to early nineteenth-century United States, challenging scholars to reflect on the implications of early American literature even to the present day. 606 $aAmerica?Literatures 606 $aLiterature, Modern 606 $aLiterature?History and criticism 606 $aSociology 606 $aNorth American Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/834000 606 $aEarly Modern/Renaissance Literature$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/817000 606 $aLiterary History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/813000 606 $aGender Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X35000 615 0$aAmerica?Literatures. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern. 615 0$aLiterature?History and criticism. 615 0$aSociology. 615 14$aNorth American Literature. 615 24$aEarly Modern/Renaissance Literature. 615 24$aLiterary History. 615 24$aGender Studies. 676 $a810.9/9287 702 $aBalkun$b Mary McAleer$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aImbarrato$b Susan C$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255229703321 996 $aWomen?s Narratives of the Early Americas and the Formation of Empire$92496249 997 $aUNINA
