This rich and copiously illustrated interdisciplinary study explores the ways that American writing between roughly 1850 and 1930 concerned itself, often intensely, with the racial implications of architectural space primarily, but not exclusively, through domestic architecture.In addition to identifying an archive of provocative primary materials, Sites Unseen draws significantly on important recent scholarship in multiple fields ranging from literature, history, and material culture to architecture, cultural geography, and urban planning. Together the chapters interrogate a variety of expressive American vernacular forms, including the dialect tale, the novel of empire, letters, and pulp stories, along with the plantation cabin, the West Indian cottage, the Latin American plaza, and the ?Oriental? parlor. These are some of the overlooked plots and structures that can and should inform a more comprehensive consideration of the literary and cultural meanings of American architecture. Making sense of the relations between architecture, race, and American writing of the long nineteenth century—in their regional, national, and hemispheric contexts—Sites Unseen provides a clearer view not only of this catalytic era but also more broadly of what architectural historian Dell Upton has aptly termed the social experience of the built environment. 410 0$aAmerica and the long 19th century. 606 $aAmerican literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aArchitecture and literature 606 $aRace in literature 606 $aArchitecture in literature 606 $aAmerican literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aArchitecture and literature. 615 0$aRace in literature. 615 0$aArchitecture in literature. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a810.9357 700 $aGleason$b William A.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01042152 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480454203321 996 $aSites Unseen$92466152 997 $aUNINA
