Individually, the essays are insightful and strong; collectively, they highlight the vibrancy of current research on nineteenth -century American women writers in particular and nineteenth-century American literature in general ... an ideal critical companion for upper-level undergraduate or graduate courses."-Annie Merrill Ingram, Symploke 606 $aAmerican literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican literature$xMale authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen and literature$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aInfluence (Literary, artistic, etc.) 606 $aAuthorship$xSex differences 606 $aMasculinity in literature 606 $aCanon (Literature) 606 $aMen in literature 615 0$aAmerican literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xMale authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory. 615 0$aInfluence (Literary, artistic, etc.) 615 0$aAuthorship$xSex differences. 615 0$aMasculinity in literature. 615 0$aCanon (Literature) 615 0$aMen in literature. 676 $a810.9/9287 676 $a810.99287 701 $aKilcup$b Karen L$01660699 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821125003321 996 $aSoft canons$94016096 997 $aUNINA
