Machor offers a sweeping exploration of how American fiction was received in both public and private spheres in the United States before the Civil War. Machor takes four antebellum authors--Edgar Allan Poe, Herman Melville, Catharine Sedgwick, and Caroline Chesebro'--and analyzes how their works were published, received, and interpreted. Drawing on discussions found in book reviews and in private letters and diaries, Machor examines how middle-class readers of the time engaged with contemporary fiction and how fiction reading evolved as an interpretative practice in nineteenth-century America. Through careful analysis, Machor illuminates how the reading practices of nineteenth-century Americans shaped not only the experiences of these writers at the time but also the way the writers were received in the twentieth century. What Machor reveals is that these authors were received in ways strikingly different from how they are currently read, thereby shedding significant light on their present status in the literary canon in comparison to their critical and popular positions in their own time. Machor deftly combines response and reception criticism and theory with work in the history of reading to engage with groundbreaking scholarship in historical hermeneutics. In so doing, Machor takes us ever closer to understanding the particular and varying reading strategies of historical audiences and how they impacted authors' conceptions of their own readership.--Book jacket. 606 $aAmerican fiction$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aReader-response criticism$zUnited States 606 $aAuthors and readers$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aBooks and reading$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aReader-response criticism 615 0$aAuthors and readers$xHistory 615 0$aBooks and reading$xHistory 676 $a813/.309 700 $aMachor$b James L.$0907303 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910524889203321 996 $aReading fiction in antebellum America$92719536 997 $aUNINA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress LEADER 03469nam 2200577 450 001 9910788866303321 005 20170822144224.0 010 $a1-4704-0616-0 035 $a(CKB)3360000000465183 035 $a(EBL)3114199 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000889115 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11932399 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000889115 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10875989 035 $a(PQKB)11264215 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3114199 035 $a(RPAM)16735179 035 $a(PPN)195418883 035 $a(EXLCZ)993360000000465183 100 $a20150417h20102010 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aOn systems of equations over free partially commutative groups /$fMontserrat Casals-Ruiz, Ilya Kazachkov 210 1$aProvidence, Rhode Island :$cAmerican Mathematical Society,$d2010. 210 4$dİ2010 215 $a1 online resource (153 p.) 225 1 $aMemoirs of the American Mathematical Society,$x0065-9266 ;$vVolume 212, Number 999 300 $a'Volume 212, Number 999 (end of volume)." 311 $a0-8218-5258-2 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $a""Contents""; ""List of Figures""; ""Chapter 1.
