• Sommario/riassunto: A stimulating collection of essays in which leading theorists of regionalism join with talented younger scholars in remapping the field. Revisionary in every sense, Breaking Boundaries asks fresh questions about traditional stalwarts, 'regionalizes' figures hitherto examined under other rubrics, and introduces readers to new authors and texts.--Carolyn L. Karcher, author of The First Woman in the Republic: A Cultural Biography of Lydia Maria Child
